(VIDEO) The sound inside Brisbane stadium: Ben Shelton produces ripping serve in first practice of 2024 season
ATPThursday, 28 December 2023 at 02:30
America’s young tennis star Ben Shelton has continued his preparation
ahead of the 2024 season. The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the brightest
young talents currently playing in the men’s singles category in the circuit alongside
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner.
In a video posted on social media platform X — previously known
as Twitter — Shelton can be seen practising hard in the Brisbane stadium,
something that would definitely excite his fans.
The 21-year-old had a more than decent time on the court in
2023 where he managed to play in the semifinal and the quarterfinal of the Grand
Slams. Shelton played in the last-eight of the Australian Open where he lost to
fellow American Tommy Paul with a score of 7-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.
The current world number 17 later played in the semifinal of
the US Open where he lost to the current world number one Serbia’s Novak
Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2, 7-6.

Other than that, Shelton also won an ATP title in Tokyo,
Japan where he defeated Russia’s Aslan Karatsev in straight sets with a score
of 7-5, 6-1.

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
