In the competitive world of tennis, secrets to success are highly sought after, and at the Shanghai Masters, a rising American tennis star, Ben Shelton, found his. He managed to outshine fellow Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe and recently shared his winning recipe.
Shelton’s key to success lies in a well-thought-out regimen that focuses on both physical and mental well-being. Unlike seasoned players like Fritz and Tiafoe, Shelton was able to maintain his energy and concentration.
After participating in the Laver Cup, Shelton chose to take a break and return home for a week. This break allowed him to recharge and regain focus, ultimately leading to his triumph at the Shanghai Masters. Arriving in Shanghai with a fresh perspective, he was able to perform at his best, thanks to his renewed energy and concentration.
Shelton’s journey with Team World at the Laver Cup also added a layer of excitement to the event, making it a memorable experience for fans and players alike.
