Next up is former Florida Gator, Ben Shelton. He just turned pro in the last year after winning an NCAA title. Won 3 straight Challenger Titles (“minor” league) already. Interesting to get former college tennis kids to match up. Good for that side of the sport.

The kid is big, strong and has a heavy serve. Loves to attack net / serve + volley and he plays with a lot of fire.

JJ can outshoot him in a baseline battle. And I think some experience may help. It would never be easy getting into the last 8 of a major and this is a big test but JJ can play his game, pick his break spots and win.

Broadcast was giving a lot of love to the Buckeyes (THE Ohio State, OH-IO).

Ben Shelton had never been outside the USA until his current trip for the Aussie Open. Hopefully JJ sends him home.
