Ben Shelton says he wants to unleash a 150 mph serve at the U.S. Open, adding that “maybe it’s coming.” The comments frame Shelton’s approach as he prepares for the tournament.
Both outlets also relay remarks from Andy Roddick, the last American man to win a major at the 2003 U.S. Open. Roddick says Shelton has the talent to challenge and potentially upset Carlos Alcaraz, linking Shelton’s powerful serving with his ability to compete with top players. While neither source provides new match results or detailed tactical plans, they consistently connect Shelton’s stated serving goal and his ceiling as a threat in the draw.
Forbes and Yahoo Sports present the story largely through the same lens: Shelton’s goal for a record-fast serve and Roddick’s assessment of Shelton’s prospects at the U.S. Open. Any differences are limited to wording and emphasis rather than substance.
