The amount of time and effort that a professional tennis player needs to put in is unimaginable. Also, the situations or circumstances in which the players might play could be really troublesome. For instance, playing under the scorching heat could pose a great challenge to the tennis stars. Reflecting on the same, Ben Shelton recently hopped on the Andy Murray trend to make a special request.

While making an ‘unpopular opinion’, the young American star made it clear that he is not a great fan of playing under the hot sun. A few days back, Andy Murray started the unpopular opinion trend as he made a small request regarding the tennis scene in Latin America.

“should only have night matches” – Ben Shelton opened up about the daytime reality in Atlanta

In a recent revelation, Ben Shelton came up with a unique request. The proposal? “Hot take like Andy Murray… Unpopular opinion: a tournament like Atlanta in the summer should only have night matches like they do in Acapulco, stadium here is always packed, and a few other tournaments. Would be better for the fans for sure and probably end up with bigger crowds. Daytime in ATL in July is unbearable,” wrote Shelton in his Instagram story.

The thought is that this format, with packed nighttime stadiums, could make the experience more thrilling for fans and attract bigger crowds. The reasoning behind this idea is the scorching July daytime temperatures in Atlanta, make it tough for players and spectators. By going all-in on night matches, Shelton thinks that it will create a more feasible environment for all the fans and make them want to watch more games with excitement.
