Powered by Roger Federer’s $10,000,000,000 Brand, ‘Mamba Killer’ Ben Shelton Shows Strange Attitude Shift as Long-Term Intention Revealed – ‘I Think I Am..’

Ben Shelton is an upcoming gem in the making. The 20-year-old American superstar, who recently did wonders at the US Open by making it through to the semi-finals of the tournament, got his first call to stand a chance with Team World at the Laver Cup. Inspired by none other than the legendary Roger Federer, Shelton, in a recent interview highlighted the different sides of his self – while he is on the court and away from it. What exactly is the difference he pointed out?

Backed by Roger Federer’s On Running, the young American reflected on how he tries to embed Roger Federer’s charismatic personality off the tennis courts. While the Swiss legend’s naturally easy-going demeanor is difficult to emulate, he has set great standards for the upcoming generations to uphold – on and off the courts.

Ben Shelton shares how he emulates Roger Federer on and off the court

Rising American gun Ben Shelton shared his perspective on his duality and how he draws inspiration from none other than tennis legend Roger Federer. On the court, Shelton adopts a “mamba mentality,” enabling his inner competitor with a fierce focus. Like Federer, he aspires to be a relentless force, a true killer in the heat of the game. Simultaneously, he finds joy in the sport, sporting a smile that fuels his competitive spirit without hindering it.

“My on-court brand is someone who is a fierce competitor, somewhat of a mamba mentality on the court,” he says. “I try to be a killer out there and compete at the highest levels. I also enjoy having fun on the court and smiling. That helps bring out my competitive spirit but doesn’t get in the way or hinder it,” said Ben in the interview.

Off the court, Shelton’s persona undergoes a transformation, mirroring Federer’s off-court charm and humility. Here, he reflects the qualities of a gentleman. This blend of on-court nature and off-court grace resembles the balance that icons like Roger Federer have perfected. Backed by On Running, a company famously endorsed by Federer, Shelton finds not only athletic inspiration but also a blueprint for shaping his own charismatic off-court persona. However, he is not the only one who aspires to learn things from one of the greatest of the game.

Even the greatest active player at the moment, Novak Djokovic, once hailed the Swiss player and aspires to learn ‘one important lesson‘ from him. In an interview, the record 24-time Grand Slam winner came ahead to talk about how Roger Federer has helped him over the years to learn a major lesson in his life. He stated that the one important lesson that he has learned from Roger is how to schedule his Grand Slam matches in a way that he can make the most of it.

It might seem a small thing at the moment, but for someone of this stature asking another legend about the basics, it might mean a big deal to him. Thus, Roger Federer has always been an inspiration to players. Be his on-court achievements or his off-court nature, he has always been an example for anyone to follow.
