The next stop on Ben Shelton's first trip outside the United States will be a spot in the Australian Open quarterfinals.
The 20-year-old NCAA champion from the University of Florida extended his stay in his debut at Melbourne Park by pulling out a 6-7 , 6-2, 6-7 , 7-6 , 6-2 victory over J.J. Wolf in an all-American matchup in John Cain Arena on Monday.
They join Sebastian Korda - his dad won the 1998 Australian Open - to give the U.S. three men in the quarterfinals in Melbourne for the first time since 2000. Back then, the trio was Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras and Chris Woodruff. Djokovic, who couldn't play in last year's Australian Open because he wasn't vaccinated against COVID-19, moved a step closer to a record-extending 10th championship in Melbourne by never facing a break point and by claiming a half-dozen of de Minaur's service games.
“I have no words, man. I'm shaking,” said Rublev, who is 0-6 in Grand Slam quarterfinals for his career. “That ball was exactly on my side and I don't know how went over.” The left-handed Shelton comes equipped with a powerful serve that produced the fastest offering of the tournament so far, at 142 mph during his first-round victory, an instinct for defense and a competitive streak. Against Wolf, who played college tennis at Ohio State and also was playing in the main draw in Melbourne for the first time, Shelton only faced two break points and saved them both.
