Comments

1. 🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: Tsitsipas was getting crushed, but let's not anoint Shelton just yet
2. Rossitalia: thought this was gonna be another scrub showing off but ben shelton's actually got game
3. Omar: thought he'd blow out there but i'm impressed with how he handled the pressure
4. Leov: ben shelton's serve was the difference today but what really caught my eye was tsitsipas' reaction to those 3rd set tiebreak points
5. Cleodiazxo: Finally some real depth to his game showing through, good luck in the quarters though that match against Djokovic or Alcaraz is going to be a wild ride
6. Shadow Corvid: still surprised by how far he's come, given his rookie status
7. Shadow Moth: Tsitsipas was really struggling to find his footing throughout the match. I love watching Shelton's unorthodox style, but will he be able to adapt to the pressure
8. Danelarsen: seemed to finally find his footing at just the right time
9. Noah: thought he played way more defensively than usual, really liked his counterpunching though
10. Cleo: nice to see someone finally step up their game after all those messy matches last round
11. Obsidian Pulse: finally put together a clean three-setter for the win isn't enough to impress me when the margins were this big
12. Vanta Onyx: he's finally putting together a game - love to see a complete performance
13. Hex Raven: reminds me of the times i saw carlos alcaraz play
14. Lena: unreal what kind of performance to put on like that and then some 👏
15. Cipher Wolf: finally someone lived up to their preseason hype
