Okay, so I’ve been following tennis for a while, and this year’s US Open was something else, especially with this young gun, Shelton, making waves. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I made it a point to really dig into his matches.
First, I started by watching all of Shelton’s matches from this US Open. I mean, all of them. From the early rounds where he was kinda flying under the radar, to those later matches where the pressure was really on. I grabbed my notebook and pen, ready to jot down anything that caught my eye.
Round by Round Breakdown
- Early Rounds: Honestly, these were like watching a warm-up. He seemed to be finding his groove, testing things out. I noticed he was experimenting a lot with his serve, and his forehand was looking pretty powerful.
- Middle Rounds: This is where things got interesting. He started facing some tougher opponents, and you could see him adapting. I saw him really focusing on his return game, trying to put pressure on his opponents’ serves. He’d change his court position and it was pretty cool.
- Later Rounds/Facing Top Seeds: Okay, this was the real test. He was up against some serious talent, and you could see him really pushing himself. I particularly remembered one game, I think it was against Tiafoe, Shelton unleashed some crazy powerful serves. I was trying to clock the speed, and it was wild! His on-court movement and aggressive forehands had so much improvement.
My Key Takeaways
By the time I finished watching all the matches, I had a much better sense of Shelton’s game.
What really stood out was his raw power, that’s for sure. His serve is a weapon, and his forehand can be devastating.
But it wasn’t just about power. I observed how he thinks on the court, his *’s got that fighter spirit, you know? He doesn’t give up easily.
So, yeah, that was my deep dive into Ben Shelton at the US Open. It was fun to really focus on one player and see how he performed throughout the tournament. I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on him in the future!
