Shelton’s journey in 2023
Shelton got a chance to compete against the World’s No.1, Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the US Open. Even though the youngster lost against the Serb by 3-6, 2-6, 6-7(7), it is still an amazing feat, nonetheless. This wasn’t the first time as he also went up against the World’s No.2 Carlos Alcaraz. In the round of 32 of the Canadian Open, Shelton lost to Alcaraz in straight sets of 3-6 6-7(3).
However, Shelton did manage to win against one of the top 5 players recently. In his match against the World’s No.4, Jannik Sinner at the round of 16 of the Shanghai Masters, Shelton claimed an incredible victory in three sets of 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(5).
Undoubtedly, Shelton has set a good example for anyone who is looking to start their transformation journey. This video, however, prompted a rare event with all the compliments, since netizens mostly like to bash Shelton for his supposed attitude problems.
