When Ben Shelton surprised Coco Gauff in an Escape Room
Shelton, Gauff, and Eubanks have been among the most popular tennis stars on their respective tours currently. One of the reasons is that they often perform activities and training together. Earlier this year, Coco Gauff explained how they had their time out at Escape Rooms in Melbourne and Miami in which Shelton also surprised Gauff.
She said, “Okay, so we’ve done two escape rooms, our little group, which is me, Anna, which is Chris’ girlfriend, and Ben. We did one in Melbourne, and definitely Ben was the strongest, I would say that day, which was surprising because we all thought he was going to suck, but he was pretty good, and then we did another one in Indian Wells, and I think me and Anna was the strongest.”

Further, Gauff went on to add, “Ben was awful that day. And then Chris was okay. So, I think if you do the averages, I would say Chris is the worst on average. Then Ben is hit or miss. So we need to do a third one to see if it was if lightning strikes twice.”
Escape Room has gone on to attain massive popularity in the US. As a result, the trio of tennis stars have kept up with the trend to enthrall their fanbase. However, they’ll look to switch their focus on the Italian Open, which has begun with the qualifiers today.
