The American tennis player Ben Shelton got back to the court for a rigorous workout in preparation for the start of the Brisbane International.
Shelton lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain in the opening round of the Paris Masters in October, ending his 2023 campaign. A week before losing the Paris Masters, he had already secured one singles title by winning the Japan Open.
The 21-year-old is in Brisbane, Australia, right now for the ATP 250 tournament being held there. Top ATP players, including Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, Holger Rune, and Grigor Dimitrov, will be joining him.
Shelton used Instagram to show off his preparation before an intense performance in Australia. He uploaded a video of himself dominating the court with a massive serve. He posted: “Slowly getting the shoulder moving again.”
