During the 2023 US Open, then 20-year-old Ben Shelton opened eyes and raised expectations as he powered into the Grand Slam’s last four to become the youngest American man to reach the semifinals since Michael Chang in 1992.
Entering the US Open men’s singles draw at No. 9 in the world, the rocket-serving southpaw is eager to erase the disappointment of last year’s Flushing fortnight.
He was forced to bow out due to injury, retiring with a lead against Adrian Mannarino in the third round.
