This is the match not to be missed in these semi-finals between the future world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and the favorite of the American public Ben Shelton. Two men with opposite experiences, but who come together for a wild half. Hot ahead for this semi-final clash.
Novak Djokovic – Ben Shelton: the birth of Shelton or the domination of Djokovic?
The first men’s semi-final pitted Novak Djokovic against Ben Shelton. A first confrontation that is worth its weight in gold for this crazy duality. The madness and recklessness of the American darling against the experience and Serbian calm. The logic would be that the 23-time Grand Slam champion wins against the young hopeful who will continue to delight us for the next 10-15 years. But American madness could turn everything around. Shelton hits hard especially on the forehand and on his first service ball. He has the three fastest serves of the tournament peaking at 240 km/h.
The future world Top 20 will have the entire public behind it and will be carried by these voices beyond reality. And if he manages to play liberated like Carlos Alcaraz can do now, perhaps we will be entitled to the surprise of the year and the true birth of Ben Shelton as a pro in the same way as a Roger Federer against Pete Sampras at Wimbledon 2001 or Carlos Alcaraz against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the US Open 2021.
Also the playing conditions will be very tough for both players but especially for the older of the two, Novak Djokovic. The match will take place at 3 p.m. local time and 27°C is forecast with 81% humidity. You might as well go play in the Amazon jungle. Playing conditions that Nole hates. But Djokovic remains Djokovic and will be the favorite of the meeting despite all the obstacles that may arise in front of him. He will await the winner of Alcaraz – Medvedev for a grand final this Sunday, September 10.
