Rising American tennis star Ben Shelton may have found his second calling, with the American jokingly stating as much following his appearance in a recent Vanity Fair photoshoot.
With the US Open a few weeks away, Shelton and several of his tennis compatriots including Jessica Pegula and Frances Tiafoe, were asked to participate in a photoshoot for Vanity Fair magazine.
Shelton humorously sees modeling as a part-time job
The 20-year old took to social media to share some snapshots of his experience, and playfully hinted at it being his side gig.
"Part-time job," wrote Shelton in the caption.
Although Shelton has accumulated 14 wins from 35 matches this season, he has not made any significant impact this year. The World No.40 fell to fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the round of 32 at the ongoing Cincinnati Open.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
