Disappointed Ben Shelton Seriously Reacts to Losing Car Parts to Random Miscreants in Bizarre Incident

Life isn’t always aces and smashes – not even for 2024 Houston Open champion Ben Shelton. In a recent social media post, the ATP number 21 shared a peculiar ordeal involving his dearest Cadillac. As soon as Shelton shared about it, the update intrigued his followers, leaving them to think, was it a planned mischief with the player? So, what happened with the ATP star?

Shelton is gearing up for the upcoming season’s first tournament in New Zealand. He has confirmed his participation in the ASB Classic championship—an ATP 250 event. He finished 2024 season as ATP number 21 with a record of 46-26 and a title in the Houston Open in April. Shelton also played an exhibition match against Alcaraz in front of a roaring crowd in New York and lost the match. However, he is back practicing. Although the American is enjoying a pretty content professional life, it seems like his regular life is not working like his career. Reason?

He took to his IG story to share an update where he posted a close snap of his car’s type and highlighted the missing air cap. Sharing the image, Shelton wrote, “Someone stole all 4 of my air caps.” The ATP star also added a crying emoji highlighting that he was utterly disappointed by this ordeal.

Now, Shelton has a knack for driving. He drives a Cadillac Escalade and is very fond of his car. Last month, he revealed his surprise about the expensive car servicing charges that made him think of an alternative job role! Feeling curious?

Ben Shelton expressed his surprise with car-servicing charges

Last month, this ATP star brought his Cadillac for servicing and revealed in his IG story that he was charged $300 per hour. Isn’t that almost unaffordable for many? Reflecting on this, Shelton jokingly asked the shopkeeper if they were looking for any employees, so he could apply for a job there! “This service shop just told me their hourly labor rate is 300/hour when I asked them to do some work on my car. So I said do you have an application I wanna apply for a job. Crazy world out here,” he wrote on his IG story. His statement showcased how humble he is and how much he values his hard-earned money.

Interstingly, this ATP star has always been very particular about his car and driving. This year when he was playing at the 2024 Cincinnati Open, he called out the driver of a random Cadillac Escalade because the car was parked outside the parking lot’s lines. “Yes! I mean it’s a disgrace. If they give everyone here a Cadillac Escalade, I think it’s a responsibility right. I know it’s a big truck but you can at least check the parking you know you got the 360 view now. These are advanced cars,” he said while recording himself and the car.

Ben Shelton‘s love for neat driving and beautiful Cadillacs have delighted the fraternity. Forget the air caps Shelton, can’t do anything about it! We hope Shelton rises in his professional career with another impressive season in 2025. What do you think about it?
