(VIDEO) The sound inside Brisbane stadium: Ben Shelton produces ripping serve in first practice of 2024 season

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.
