In a match that many thought to go Novak’s way, the first set made it all clear. After many unforced errors from Shelton, it was Novak who landed the first set into his pocket. However, the main highlight of the set was Ben’s reaction to the box. He clearly said, “Didn’t like that one” to the box while pointing to the Serb.

However, fans were quick to express their emotions and slammed Shelton for his attitude. One fan took to Twitter to say, “Had, but didn’t get the set. Novak did!” while taking a hilarious dig at Ben, citing that it was Novak who had the final laugh.

Another fan took to Twitter to say that the actions of Ben Shelton in the first set show how American he is. “Saying sth like that and then losing is very American of him ngl” said the fan while taking a dig at the young American.

Another fan expressed his emotions, saying that since Ben has nothing to lose, he should keep playing with the same confidence. Maybe he can put up a show and surprise the pundits. “If he keeps playing with this type of confidence he can make some noise, no one expects him to win just go for it!” said the fan.

This fan went all in to describe the frustration he had with the attitude of Shelton. In the tweet, he mentioned that Ben needs to be a bit more humble considering the age he is in at the moment. Despite disliking Djoker, the fan went to support him after Ben’s rude attitude during the match.

“Ben Shelton sh*t talking Nole to his corner while down a break in the game for the set is crazy,” said the fan while citing that the actions by Ben are absolutely absurd as he was already losing the set.
