Anyone with an IQ recognizes that Ben played a FRACTION of how he played against Alcaraz. If Alcaraz played Zverev, he would have won. That's because Alcaraz is always playing at the top of his game. Ben simply could not withstand the pressure. He'll come back stronger.
Ben Shelton after losing to Zverev in the U.S. Open final
“First and most importantly I wanna thank God. My successes are a gift. The failures are a gift. Being here playing in front of you guys is a gift.
Sascha, congrats on these two weeks man. Your 2nd Grand Slam title. Two in one year.
You’re one of the very best players in the world. Maybe the best player in the world this year. What you’re doing is incredible.
The way you’re serving, moving, and playing. You work harder than anyone I know. You put more hours on the court than anyone I know. You and your team do things the right way. Sincerely happy for you guys to hold this title. It’s been a long time coming here.”
What a joke of a "winner". Meanwhile, Shelton and Alcaraz had back to back difficult matches with less time to recover. I can't wait for Sinner or Alcaraz to whip this retard's ass again. Ben Shelton could have done it but he hasn't learned to withstand the pressure yet.
@TheTennisLetter Had the easiest lineup meanwhile Shelton had back to back elite opponents and beat Alcaraz in one of the greatest matches of all time. If Ben Shelton was at 100% he would have beaten Zverev. If Alcaraz faces him, he would have destroyed him.

Zverev was asked if he’s the best player in the world right now, ‘With Sinner being injured & Alcaraz coming back from injury… right now, probably yes… 4 or 5 months ago when both were healthy, I was losing to Jannik all the time. If everyone is healthy, I think Jannik is still ahead’
“Do you think you’re the best tennis player in the world right now?”
Zverev: “I don’t know how to answer that. You have to take everything into consideration. With Jannik Sinner being injured and Carlos Alcaraz coming back from injury after 4 months… right now, this moment, probably yes. Both of them healthy and both at the top of their game, maybe not. But if we say right right now with Jannik being injured and Carlos coming back from injury, maybe. 4 or 5 months ago when both of them were healthy, I wasn’t. I was losing to Jannik all the time. If everyone is healthy, I think Jannik is still ahead. It’s as simple as that.”

ATP FAVORS THIS WOMAN BEATER. LOSER.
SHELTON BEAT ALCARAZ, AND IF ALCARAZ PLAYED ZVEREV, HE WOULD HAVE DESTROYED HIM. DIFFERENCE IS SHELTON HAS TO LEARN TO HANDLE THE PRESSURE. HE WILL GET THERE.
@bonescrushed___@thomas_scott61 Spot on, couldn't agree more. The Shelton hate is so ridiculous, imo because of all the race drama, and the fact that he is less established. The reality is he has made development in his professional tennis career. I can't wait until he comes back to win.
@bonescrushed___ THANK YOU!!!! EXACTLY. Not a fraction of his strength against Alcaraz! His lineup was way harder than Zverev's! If Alcaraz played Zverev he'd have blown him out the water. The difference is Shelton got nervous and was shaky with some good moments. He has to learn to stay focused.
Mark my words, he'll win soon. He made a break not just on the court but in his career. His lineup was infinitely harder than Zverev's, he deserved that win. He beat Alcaraz. The difference is that Ben got nervous and has to learn how to handle the pressure in the final.

Ben Shelton is younger, his first final. His match with Alcaraz was some of the best tennis I have ever seen, and that should be a sign that he's capable of winning. That was the real final in my opinion, Shelton had unreal back to back matches while Zverev had a cake walk lineup
