It was a disappointing day for Carlos Alcaraz fans (me): he lost his quarterfinal match against Novak Djokovic.
Ben Shelton (22, 🇺🇸 ) is playing against Lorenzo Sonego (29, 🇮🇹 ) tonight— Wednesday in Australia— in another quarterfinal match. He is up by one set to none, and should win. Go, Ben!
Ben Shelton checking in with the chair umpire at the changeover, probably asking ‘Are you OK?’ Shelton’s return from Sonego’s serve hit the side of the umpire’s chair. (You don’t want to get hit by a tennis ball from these pros. Shelton delivered 144 mph serves, and can blast back a ground shot at 90 mph. )
