Ben Shelton Press Conference | 2024 US Open Round 1

[@snickaren111]

Ben is my dark horse for this tournament. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes all the way and grab the title. The mental strength and the winner mentality is definitely there. He's confident and really believe he could win big titles. And that is very rare for players outside top10. USO and Arthur Ashe Stadium is just perfect for Ben energy wise. Great guy with a great game!

its annoying he has to play Djokovic round 4 otherwise I agree

[@arag0rn586]

​@@782claudiaat some point i can see him win if je stays solid

Its annoying vs 🐐⁉️

[@markaven5249]

It'd be awesome if he won. Also rooting for Fritz, go team USA

[@got2bjosh]

Your horse could be Friesian, but he's still not winning. It would be a miracle if he survived R4.

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

His body is getting better, tennis IQ is getting better, he's learning and listening to his team. He is developing well.

[@troutcreekrambler]

Keep it going Ben! 🐊

This is your year Ben. Let’s go!

[@saami9606]

He does look a lot bigger, he looks great

[@got2bjosh]

He said he's dropped weight.

[@TendoASMR]

It is very odd to see the reporters. Idk what I thought they looked like but it wasn’t that

[@andrewb8235]

I prefer not to see them and don't think we should be giving them more attention and visibility. The fact that most of them are obese or frail makes them all the more contemptible.

[@louismorris1991]

You got this been. Keep the 146mph serve tennis 🎾 🤴🏿✊🏿

[@got2bjosh]

Speed matters not if the serve isn't well placed. Ben hit some beautifully effective serves below 120mph, but when he tried to go much bigger, he would often miss long. In the end, his fastest was 135mph which is in a normal range for top servers.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Nice win.Well done Ben! 👍

[@got2bjosh]

Press conferences are boring affairs, but I enjoyed his answers.

[@yentemarien7032]

You are a great guy ❤❤❤

[@andrewb8235]

The last journalist used the word "attributed" incorrectly. Is this the current state of journalism? Unbelievable.

[@got2bjosh]

No she didn't. You're the one who is mistaken.

[@laurabondi8283]

Certain commentators act like he has to be black for them, like they do for Guaff. He has a sun tan, so he looks white. Commentators just let him be who he is. His dad and mom know just who he is.....

[@andrewb8235]

The reporters ask Gauff unrelated questions about identity politics. Amazing that so many are perfectly fine being reduced to their race. The obsession with identity has had an extremely degrading effect on culture. It's do shallow.

[@got2bjosh]

Question had nothing to do with race. Stop reaching.
