Thanks you AO for doing highlights RIGHT!!! Wimbledon and especially French Open could learn some things! USO is decent too, but AO is by far the best at highlights.

[@DanielBoonelight]

still have the spoiler thumbnail though...👎

[@florisbokx]

Nah Usopen has the best yt channel imo

[@groundskeeperkeeper3879]

Us is way better and longer and don’t just show for a 5 set match the set points and break , game points most of it

[@piscesgroovesupreme]

​@@DanielBoonelightLitterally no one is watching the highlights not already knowing who won. Come on now 😹😹😹😹

[@victorhumphrey131]

Well done Shelton! RBA is a tough first-round opponent.

[@kevinsantiago9665]

This kids game is must see tv right now, not only powerful but very quick on his feet

[@kgindpls]

He is playing at such a high level, keeps improving on everything…looks like next American slam winner

[@mashizzung9911]

Didn't expect to win RBA in 3 straight sets. Good start!

[@got2bjosh]

Agut is old & in need of probiotics.

impressive Shelton 🎉

[@magnuszebitzsteiness8759]

Sheltons backhand has really improved recently. Great to see! 🔥

[@throwinfitz1144]

Father time comes for us all. You can see how Roberto's movement is a fraction of what it used to be. Years ago you would never see him have to stretch for shots. Skill is still there. Legs just ain't what they used to be.

[@RemyMesi-ko3jv]

Ben has really cleaned up that back hand

[@alexisperez4100]

Amazing game for both!

[@retarded4527]

What is that delayed grunt from RBA at 6:43? That's clearly hindrance, didn't expect that from him...

[@knotwilg3596]

He has been doing this all his career. He's the original late grunter.

[@CommodoreJman]

After a chipped return as well, he’s a total cheater

[@Dr__DOO]

Straight sets against Bautista Agut is kinda crazy

[@leelejnieks1234]

Shelton is a legit threat. Huge game. If it is on, hard to beat.

[@got2bjosh]

Belton played so well (6-2 7-6 7-5). He made sure to win in straights unlike so many others who have found themselves pushed to 4 & 5 sets in R1. We've had EIGHT 5 set matches & FIVE 4hr+ matches already & Day 2 isn't over. Ridiculous. The hard courts are TOO darn slow especially for a Slam. Enough already. Make Courts Fast Again. Despite GI pressure from Agut in the 2nd set, Shelly went into lockdown mode running away with the tiebreak. Serving well & getting the crucial Kit Kat late the 3rd wrapped up proceedings.

[@zweigackroyd7301]

What does it mean the courts are too slow for a slam? Don't like Roland Garros? Newsflash: tennis is played on a variety of surfaces, and different skills and strategies are needed for each. This is probably a surprise to you, but it has been so for quite some time.

[@radekvecerka1115]

@@zweigackroyd7301 Following your argument, some GS should be slow, and some fast, but nowadays everything is getting slowed down, that is what people mean, AO has been the fastest playing GS, so slowing it down kills the variety of court speed

[@VelveteenDreamer]

Totally agreed. The AO courts these years look so slow, it looks so hard to make a winner given the elite level of fitness from all the guys, it's brutal Rally after brutal rally

[@ashyles0110]

AO should be medium speed, it's the balls that are too heavy

[@matekovacs4228]

are we going to see such a meanless comment after every match your darling is playing? Just asking....

[@timr8456]

The finishes of the rallies at 1:41 and 3:55 had me hyped watching live

[@renhoek3851]

I hate the way RBA grunts about a second after his shot, it's so blatantly an attempt to offput the opponent

[@franciscogoni1248]

Tennis need more players like Ben, hes fire

[@CommodoreJman]

RBA’s grunts should be called for hindrance. They come way after he has struck the ball, right as his opponent is lining up to swing. There is no physiological reason for them. It’s cheating.

[@jamesblunt3093]

The ball flies faster than the sound of him grunting

[@jsbfe9395]

Exactly. Glad to see someone mentioning it. Clearly cheating and doing it to disrupt the opponent.

[@cameronransome]

It was annoying just listening to the grunting from RBA, let alone playing against it.

[@user-qc1pr1hn8j]

@@jamesblunt3093you’re a tard 🤤

[@mikeg8375]

I agree

[@chrisbryer-ash1020]

Shelton’s good to watch when he keeps his mouth shut and doesn’t change his grunt every other shot

[@kmfilms5318]

Ur so boring

[@williammccarthy4441]

RBA is one tough mudder so good win

[@sliceserve234]

It just occurred to me Shelton is a modern day Agassi, using baseline power to move his opponent side to side wearing them down.

[@tonyyytherobot]

please don't disrespect Agassi... Shelton's baseline hitting is trash compared to him.

Keep getting mad about it.

[@kikamen]

Please, don´t always show the winner in the thumbnail!! Many of us can´t watch the matches and it spoils the surprise.

[@jaydub4661]

Was reflecting on that. I wonder if they do that to reduce hate speech? Most people don't bother watching or commenting if they know their fav didn't win. 🤷🏾

[@chadricksch]

there are a few videos AO has uploaded with the loser in the thumbnail, so it’s not always guaranteed to be the winner! :)

[@kikamen]

Yeah, you’re right! I realised today. Good thing

[@SM-hf1en]

bautista agut purposely took so much extra time on breaks and walked extra slow to start points. he clearly was outmatched and more tired then shelton during the second and third set. congrats shelton

[@arweiss21]

Those late extended grunts are bad manners IMO. Grunt when you hit, not after the ball is on the other side of the net.

[@user-nm3pn5mf2k]

doesn't he grunt like this the whole time to any player?@@arweiss21

[@KCNwokoye]

Impressive Ben.

[@nixee]

Soon with djokovic 📞☎️

[@kinggogeta7763]

shelton needs to pick up his serve, his ground strokes are much more consistent from last year, but his serve doesn't seem to be as effective

[@eaglelefty5341]

Yeah, but I’m sure the coaching team told him to not drop 130+ serves unless he really needs to in an easier match like this.

[@piner74]

Speed is not everything. Take a look at Djokovic.

[@kinggogeta7763]

@@eaglelefty5341 I disagree, every match is not easy on tour unless you are Novak (even his first two rounds were tough). No coach in the right kind would tell a player to save something for a later round cuz that would be really arrogant and stupid if he loses

[@123tilen123]

Man why black outfit on a sunny day 40c degrees???

[@canski5646]

Shelton has no chance of being a contender,,hits too hard, tries to be too flashy and in the end he will fade away when the injuries start creeping in..looks like a smart player could out play Shelty no problem..

[@jackreacher3234]

He seems like a bit of a W⚓

[@colesmith7509]

Ben's grunting is still so unberable. He changes it multiple times in ONE rally constantly and randomly throws in screams that last almost unti the opponent hits the ball. I mean the one at 3:59 was out of nowhere on a normal return??? So weird

[@Godot28]

Whoever did the thumbnail needs to be fired...😅

[@ugly-casanova]

RBA is now 35. His best days are behind him. It's clear to see that he has lost some of his speed.

Kyrios is a disgrace to not only tennis but sport as a whole. Why he is given entry to tournaments escapes me. When he happens to be on court I switch off. The tattoos tell you immediately he is from the lower classes. Let him play there not where decent people play.

[@johnsedlak4646]

Just because you have tattoos makes you a lower class human? This is 2024 bud, not 15th century England. Your sense of entitlement is disgusting.
