Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton are into the US Open quarterfinals. Which of them stands the best chance at ending the American men's 20-year major drought?
The 2022 NCAA singles champion from the University of Florida, Shelton is currently playing his first full year on tour. Just how new is Shelton to the international grind of the professional tennis schedule? He had never even left the United States before going to Australia to start 2023 and had to acquire his first passport in order to do so.
During the US Open, he has had a sensational run into the second week, including four-set victories over Paul on Sunday and 2021 Australian Open semifinalistin the third round. During the win over Paul he had a serve recorded at 149 mph -- the fastest of the tournament -- and then repeated the feat in the same game. He credited both to"straight adrenaline." Currently ranked No. 47 and having been as high as No. 35 this year, he is expected to improve to No.
