Roger Federer-Backed Ben Shelton Visibly Pissed at ‘Villain’ Novak Djokovic for Ruthless Act as ‘Revenge’ Demand Raised in Heated US Open Scenes

In the world of professional tennis, where players battle it out with their skills and strategies, even a small action can create big excitement. At this year’s US Open, there was a thrilling match between a young tennis star backed by Roger Federer and the formidable Novak Djokovic. But what got everyone talking wasn’t just the powerful serves and precise shots: it was a cold gesture that Djokovic made right after his win.

What happened next was a rush of feelings, curiosity, and a strong desire for payback, and of course a flurry of fan reactions on twitter, all in the hot New York sunshine.

Fans mince no words after Shelton’s ‘death stare’ at Djokovic

Ben Shelton had earned his own moment in the spotlight with a distinctive celebration earlier in the tournament. After his quarter-final victory over Frances Tiafoe, he mimicked answering a call and putting the handset down: a playful way of showing he was “dialled in” to the game.

But Djokovic, being Djokovic, did a similar gesture after his straight sets victory against Ben Shelton. When Djokovic copied Shelton’s celebration after winning his match, many saw it as a way of telling the young player that he still had a lot to learn.

The real drama unfolded after Djokovic’s cheeky gesture. Ben Shelton, visibly displeased, shot a “death stare” at his opponent, setting off a chain reaction on Twitter.

One fan pointed out, “Ben really said ‘if I have to shake his hand (because this is a dumb sport), I’m making sure he knows how I feel about it.'”

Another chimed in, “He looks like he wants to fight him.”

“Hahaha for sure Ben Shelton revenge arc soon,” a fan speculated.

The sentiment was clear as another fan noted, “Oh, he was PISSED.”

Some even appreciated the spark, saying, “This is what I wanna see! These twinks have too much respect for their elders sometimes…”

And, in a lighter tone, a user humorously quipped, “New phone who dis?”

A fan added to the narrative, “Oh Damn. I can see the anger on Ben’s face”

Another fan quipped, “Sure looks like little Ben can dish it out but not take it”

As the US Open reaches its final few days, the competition between young and experienced players, like Shelton and Djokovic, promises more excitement. The Djokovic-Shelton match has made fans even more excited about the tournament. With this win, Novak Djokovic has now made it to the finals of all 4 slams this year.
