An American tennis sensation experienced significant damage to his beloved and valuable possession while on the University of Florida campus. Shelton’s vehicle was immobilized despite being parked in an authorized area. The 21-year-old shared this news on his social media platform.
Shelton seemed extremely frustrated by the fact that his car was immobilized despite adhering to the regulations. The American tennis prodigy also claimed that the rim of his car had been scratched. Shelton posted a video illustrating how his car was completely locked up with a notice of seizure affixed to the windows.
The 21-year-old also wrote a brief caption expressing his emotions.
While this incident may have affected Ben Shelton to some extent, the American tennis prodigy will concentrate on what lies ahead for him on the tennis court. Shelton is striving for his second title at the professional level. Following his initial triumph at the Tokyo Open last year, Shelton’s performances have declined.
The 21-year-old American suffered two consecutive first-round eliminations towards the end of the 2023 season. Despite benefiting from reaching the semifinals at the 2023 US Open and subsequently winning the title in Tokyo, the expectations for an even better performance skyrocketed.
However, Shelton has been unable to meet those expectations. Ben Shelton commenced the 2024 season in Brisbane but experienced another first-round exit. He showed improvement in Auckland, reaching the semifinals. At the 2024 Australian Open, Shelton advanced to the third round but was defeated by Adrian Mannarino.
In Dallas, Ben Shelton once again reached the semifinals but was defeated in straight sets by fellow countryman Tommy Paul. Now, with the Indian Wells and Miami Open tournaments on the horizon, Shelton will be hoping to reverse his fortunes. It remains to be seen whether the American will meet the expectations at these two prestigious events or if he will have to wait longer for his second title.
