Ben Shelton Can Win This Year’s U.S. Open

It’s been 22 years since an American men’s tennis player won a Grand Slam. The American woman Coco Gauff managed the feat just two months ago when she beat the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka at the French Open, becoming the first American woman to win a Slam on clay since Serena Williams in 2015. Gauff also won the 2023 U.S. Open, which is played on a hard court. Besides Gauff, American tennis players have struggled to compete at the highest level since the Williams sisters’ domination of the 2010s.
