’s***Ted on His Pants’- Tennis Fans Pay No Heed to Ben Shelton’s Efforts in Brutal Australian Open Loss

Ben Shelton has been stunned by 35-year-old Adrian Mannarino in the third round of the Grand Slam event in Melbourne. In a five-set thriller at the Show Court Arena, the 20th-seeded Frenchman overcame the American powerhouse to secure a place in the fourth round. While Mannarino is being lauded by the tennis community, the 21-year-old Shelton has become a target of brutal criticism from the fans.

Shelton was performing well until his recent defeat, as he overcame the likes of Roberto Bautista Agut and Christopher O’Connell in the first two rounds of the Australian Open. But now that he has faced an early knockout, fans are paying no heed to the current world No. 16 player’s efforts during his campaign.

Ben Shelton gets brutally trolled after his defeat at the Australian Open

The renowned tennis journalist José Morgado recently hailed the 35-year-old French player for outclassing Shelton in a five-hour-long game in Melbourne. He tweeted, “35yo Adrian Mannarino into the 2nd week of the #AusOpen for the 2nd time in his life, both in the last three editions. Beats Ben Shelton in almost 5 (!) hours. Playing the best tennis of his life but needed 15 sets in three matches to make it. Next? #1 Novak Djokovic.”

In the comments section of the social media post, a flurry of fans were quick to react as they threw shade at the American tennis star. One fan said, “And people talk about shelton like he’s something. He is just a kid with an attitude to grab attention to sign deals and sponsors for nothing”

If he had prevailed in his third-round match, Shelton would have then faced Novak Djokovic, who defeated him in the semifinals of the 2023 US Open. Notably, a user commented, “Shelton saw that he was losing to Djokovic again if he beated Mannarino and shi*ted on his pants.”

One of the fans also mocked the 21-year-old player’s signature ‘dial in’ celebration that made headlines in the previous season. The user said, “Shelton failed to find the dialing pad”

After his initial round defeat at the Grand Slam event, Shelton is now being labelled an ‘overrated arrogant kid’.
