Ben Shelton Clinches Wimbledon Victory!
American tennis star Ben Shelton swiftly secured his place in the next round of Wimbledon, defeating Rinky Hijikata in a match that resumed after being suspended due to darkness. Shelton needed only four points – achieved with three aces – to seal the 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 victory. The match concluded in approximately one minute on Friday morning, much to Shelton's relief.
“I wasn’t really going for four aces,” the 10th-seeded Shelton said, showcasing his relaxed attitude after the quick win. He expressed greater satisfaction with the morning's outcome compared to the previous evening when the suspension decision left him frustrated.
The second-round match showcased Shelton's powerful serve and aggressive playing style, solidifying his position as a contender in the tournament. Fans are eagerly anticipating his next performance.
