Frances Tiafoe vs. Ben Shelton Extended Highlights | 2023 US Open Quarterfinal

[@RamZar50]

Big Ben is special. Best active left-handed player. He mixed it up really well and plays with confidence. His Dad’s sideline coaching helps too.

[@francocositos9804]

steroids XD

[@simirijanac]

You mean after Novak ( left-handed player too ) ?

[@RamZar50]

@@simirijanac *Novak* is a right-handed player. *Nadal* is probably the greatest left-handed player ever although Laver, Connors and McEnroe were great as well.

[@bachstrad1994]

He was 8-20 this year before the US open. Only won 4 matches outside the AO.

Why his dad looks Negroid

[@Bernard_01]

Shelton played incredible tennis out there and he deserves the win. Tiafoe also played well, I believe we are yet to see his best tennis so far; he's a great player and I do respect his game a lot. Well done to both players.

[@got2bjosh]

I loved this match. So many of the big men's matches have felt like defeatist slogs because of the heat and humidity, but Shelton brought such personality to this match. He just earned himself a bunch of new fans.

[@GeorgeT370]

Absolutely....and I`m one of them....his gamestyle is so entertaining...

[@letrantrung1]

Except that his behaviors were provocative and disrespectful.

[@got2bjosh]

[@kleid4677]

Racist?

[@got2bjosh]

@@kleid4677 Oh yes, tennis is an elitist sport with a notoriously racist & antisemitic history. Even now, despite much progress, many toxic fans of You-Know-Who come out of the woodwork to engage in implicit & explicit racism towards Shelton, in particular. So, it's important to do what you can to combat the expression of such sentiments.

[@Mixtazy]

Shelton behaves badly on the court, trying to attract the audience. But tiafoe is incredibly talented and charismatic, he could have won the set, but Shelton was lucky. Tiafoe is my favorite tennis player, because he knows how to behave on the court and think with his head, and he also has cool drop shots. I think that in this match he is the people's champion

[@deirdrereynolds4684]

Ben hits BIG! Ben & Carlos in the final would be new and interesting 🤔

[@teebjoysauce27]

Frances gave up on half the points against him, didn't even try. Shelton deserved the win out of pure hustle.

[@lynhru6854]

Ben Shelton plays physical tennis with left hand, just like Nadal. But he has less topsin shots and much bigger serve.

[@michaeleckstut7470]

7:40 if the ball touches the racket twice that fast is it illegal?

[@jedermann3649]

It is. A double bounce on your racquet, as long as you do it in one fluid swing and you don't stop your motion and then continue, is perfectly legal. I'm repeatedly amazed how little even pro players know about rules like this.

I didn't fully understand the phone thing that Shelton did at the end when he won the match. Was he calling his home but nobody answered so he hung up? Regardless, he is so young and hungry so it would be interesting to see how he handles the next match against Djokovic. He is a big guy so speed would be a challenge for him when playing against someone like Djokovic or Alcaraz.

Physically, this guy is just as much of a freak as Alcaraz. On this form, Djokovic is not guaranteed to beat him...if I were a betting man, I'd take Djokovic in 5, but I wouldn't feel great about it. On this USO run alone, even if Djoko sweeps him in straights, I'd put him in the next-gen big 4: Carlos, Sinner, Rune, and Ben. Post-Djokovic, say, 2-3 years from now, he might be Carlos' closest challenger (having presumably cleaned up his UFE while staying ultra-aggressive). Isner serve with Alcaraz speed & FH and a solid top-20 BH makes for a monster. I don't have to like it, so I'll be rooting against him every match, but I imagine I'd be better off rooting for him -- gonna win a lot more than he loses if he carries over this form.
