Ben Shelton,
" I wouldn't have thought I would be here six months ago.The stadium was packed.They kind of set the tone when I walked on court, I got booed.I find it easy to play free when the crowd is coming at you. I enjoy that hostile atmosphere".

I believe playing college tennis was good preparation for you Ben:)
He seems good for now, nobody knows how he plays for sure.Lets hope he lives up to the hype,and he has the look that sponsors want.I am sure he is going to make a lot of money from sponsors.

He looks younger than 20 years old may I say, he has that 'boy next door face', he has the talent, he is one to watch for the future, he has made the 4th round of a major, I am interested to follow his future.

Who is this Ben Shelton?never heard of him.He has that look of someone that is going to be shoved down our throats like pova.
I have no idea why you would compare him with Sharapova, btw. What could you be possibly thinking? I thought you favored Black and mixed-race players. I could be wrong, but you always seem to. Not to mention his tennis.

If Korda loses this one, I'm seriously not having any fun any more this AO.

Just switched over to this match, honestly if Hubi wins help me, he bores me to death, sad to say
How many times have we seen a player beating a top player and they are sub par for their next match, having a let down, I hope Korda can pick up his game

Korda plays a much better 2nd set, and rights the ship. Go, Seb!

Speaking of players that bore me to death, sorry to see that Silent K is going to send Nishioka packing. Ball bashing v. tricky variety game? Sorry to see KK carry on.
