" One of the great stories already of 2023 has been the meteoric rise of Ben Shelton. He was playing challengers in the fall last year, and now at the Australian Open got all the way to quarterfinals and has cracked into the Top 50."
"Absolutely love his game. It's. Been fun to watch him through college, through the futures, the challengers, and now to where he is in the thick of it. He's got a massive lefty serve. The leftiness is a huge advantage, a huge forehand as well."
"The backhand is improved, and maybe the thing that I like the most is that he already, at such a young age, has an all-court game, and I would give a lot of credit to his dad, Bryan, for developing every area of the court. I love his demeanor."
"He's got enough energy. It's almost like he skipped a few grades. He's gone from sixth grade to high school because when you're playing challengers in the fall and now all of a sudden you're gonna be going off to Europe for the first time and you're playing on red clay against the grinders."
"But this is part of the process, gain that experience is starting to feel more comfortable. In the Top 50 break into the Top 30. I think he has that capability. He's got a great foundation. Excited to see where Ben's game goes."
