What a SMART and COOL KID! He can SO be a major star in years to come.

[@davidwasserman9393]

He really is. They must some training on how to deal with media. I

[@michaelpetrovich5353]

No, he is not smart.

[@juanmanuelportillo9293]

Very mature and humble. I like his responses.

[@Cooliewhistles]

He’s not at all actually if you watch him on the court

[@mike_404]

@@Cooliewhistles fr he must be super annoying to play against but I think we need a guy with loads of energy on the tour

[@kagakai7729]

​@@Cooliewhistles It's habit. You're expected to act like that in the NCAA since audiences want to be excited. He's trying to entertain, not belittle. Why else would he earnestly congratulate people when he loses and talk about his game objectively in post-game interviews?

[@SeeVolmr]

I saw Ben play at Indian Wells this year and knew I was watching a future American super star. Whether he beats Tiafoe or not, we’ll be seeing a lot more of Ben Shelton over the next decade! 💫

[@YVM3311]

Great responses Ben. American tennis is in great hands and mindsets . You and Paul are the best at chatting thru the Q&a session and kinda use that time for a solid debrief about it .

[@pia1758]

Rooting for Ben to make the semis! Love his attitude ◡̈

[@mercybwalya2389]

Congrats Ben! I am rooting for you. Lots of love from Africa. You have won yourself a fan here

I Googled "149" and ended up here.

YOU got that right...the 1st ever "149" in US OPEN HISTORY!! WOW

[@kathleensullivan7847]

It was an amazing match, so grateful to have seen it in person. I am a Ben fan, his volleys are so crisp and the serve is so fast it is shocking.

[@TheSentinel909]

"everyone has a gameplan till they get punched in the mouth" - really cool quote

[@shawnberry9335]

Mike Tyson said Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

[@kristaconley578]

So excited for his now and future - very smart and disciplined! Love Tommy Paul and Francis Tiafoe as well - go red white and blue!

[@fingersm]

Saw him play Alcaraz in Toronto. Impressed me to no end. It is only time he goes #1.

[@Backpack16]

What a nice young man

[@giraybey]

Rooting for Mr. Shelton, come on man!

[@squorly]

I like Ben and I hope he soars up the ranks

[@jasteck8]

never seen an interview by him before but am impressed with what I just saw

[@bhanuthayaparan6866]

very well spoken for being so young

[@starrystarrybee]

I am Malaysian, and my brother was pretty verbose by the time he was 5 years old.

[@MicroCheese64]

@@starrystarrybeecool, who asked

[@rc-darkangel774]

If he gets to finals he can make tennis explode here because of his charisma. One charismatic guy old lady could jump-start everybody!

[@rc-darkangel774]

What I mean by charismatic inspiration? In America! Carlos alcaraz

[@rc-darkangel774]

Sorry about the many comments, Carlos alcaraz very charismatic so where the big 3 but Rodger did not gain as much traction as Tiger because Americans only give that type of respect to other Americans. The big 3 went further than Tiger did in his sport but Tiger was by far a bigger superstar in America.

[@cornel1801com]

Ben Shelton's style reminds me of the great tennis player who was Pete Sampras, and whom the media seems to have forgotten. Everyone talks about the Big Three, Big Four, and so on. But Sampras, I liked much more, with his serve-and-volley style.

[@Flavorino]

Think Boris Becker.

[@anitaklara7428]

Exactly!

[@ItsSuperGameplay]

Well said 149 causes rhythm break

[@stuartglass4772]

Nice lad, really polite and well educated. Going to be a grand slam multiple winner

[@pawshands9706]

Ben playing doubles is directly improving his singles net play. He is volleying beautifully under pressure. He can be a bit off-putting when addressing the audience, but he'll keep improving.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Well done Ben on an Great game.👏❤️

[@willzsportscards]

'when people say something negative about me, it drives me.' hey smartphone generation..listen to this kid...he 'gets it'.

149 is crazy ridiculously crazy

[@XxxX-wx3er]

Are you Tsitsipas making racial comments against Tiafoe?

[@gotaplanstan]

​@@XxxX-wx3erthat doesn't even make sense, since Ben's dad is black

[@dot0422]

No, he isn't. Coco is just as intelligent.

[@spongybone4071]

He's looking like a future grand slam winner

[@guydixon231]

Blimey. Some of the questions are very long winded. Get to the point.

[@juanmanuelportillo9293]

Journalists are in general annoying, at least those in this interview.

[@XxxX-wx3er]

No media, no money. No media, no large crowds, no money. No media, no major sponsors, no money. No media, no famous tennis players, no endorsements, no money. Media = money.

[@reliableandrew]

Extremely annoying, entirely agree.

[@bridgetwest4304]

BEN COOL. I LIKE HIS ATTITUDE. NEVER REALLY LOOK AT HIM. GET SOME AMERICAN MEN. LUV❤

[@kobusduplooy9202]

The only reason there are 3 Americans in the QF cause they have not played Sir Carlos Alcaraz, Great Job Of The People Responsible Who " Selected ???" the Draw on the mens side , to make sure their players run deep. Had they been in Carlito' s Draw , they would have been home watching matches in front of their tv sets !!! Proofs again that the fact that they are Scared of Carlito , a 20 Year Spaniard who Destroy them in Straight sets . It so obvious all Americans in the one draw ???

[@al1976-v7m]

His haircut is s bit funny but he's got great energy and is a fresh face ik tennis. I'm curious if he can bother Frances.

Ben looks nothing like Jackson, nor does he act likd Jackson who has a Southern accent. People mistake having the same skin color as looking alike. You stand them next to one another and . they will look nothing alike. Grow up people!
