Shelton overpowers Tsitsipas in US Open fourth round

Ben Shelton needed just three sets to end Stefanos Tsitsipas's US Open, closing out a 6-2 6-3 6-4 win in the Round of 16 without ever letting the Greek settle. The American's serve was the difference: 12 aces against a single double fault, 71.8% of first serves landed, and 84.3% of those points won, with 70% claimed behind the second ball. Tsitsipas, by contrast, found only 51.4% of first serves and won 66.7% of them, offering Shelton repeated looks at the second delivery. It was a statement performance on home soil for the American.
