The Battle of Generations: Ben Shelton vs Novak Djokovic in US Open Men’s Semifinals

Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic will star this Friday in the first of the two US Open men’s semifinals. A match in which the young American tennis player will seek to prolong his fairy tale with his first Grand Slam final while Djokovic will seek to play the decisive match to match the absolute record of 24 Grand Slams held by Margaret Court.

Shortly after confirming that Shelton and Djokovic would play this first semifinal, Tennis TV, the official channel of the ATP, launched this question on its X social network account: “Who will win this semifinal?” also pointing out that this match will be a “Battle of generations. Ben Shelton, 20, will face Novak Djokovic for a place in the US Open final. A question that another prominent tennis figure like Nick Kyrgios wanted to answer, who was emphatic in his statement. “In my professional opinion, Djokovic.”

A Kyrgios who is not competing in the US Open this year due to injuries and who once again came out in defense of the Serbian after Djokovic was asked about his anger with his team during his match at the press conference after his match with Taylor Fritz. “It’s the typical stupid question. This guy is probably the best tennis player of all time. He clearly has never been in a decent level of competition in his life, ”said a Kyrgios who, from a distance, sees Djokovic as the clear favorite to win the US Open.
