Ben Shelton is currently ranked only number 281, but it seems that the 19-year-old will be an exciting player to watch in the years to come. Ben lost a marathon match against his illustrious compatriot John Isner 7-68 4-6 7-63. Nevertheless, the American teenager impressed the local crowd with some amazing shot-making. This passing shot in the first point of the tie-break of the decider really put the crowd on fire.
