"I actually feel fairly fresh": Ben Shelton dispels doubts of Vienna Open participation despite Japan Open title

As of time of writing, Arthur Fils will play in the final of the European Open Antwerp with Alexander Bublik in the sights of the young Frenchman who took down Stefanos Tsitsipas yesterday.

The 19-year-old similar to Ben Shelton has been touted as a top rising star albeit both have not received similar fanfare to Carlos Alcaraz.
