Ben Shelton has made a very good journey to win his first Masters 1000 in Toronto, also taking advantage of the many absences.
The American is rather the extroverted type, then when a remark through his mind, he does not hesitate to share it. He also particularly wanted to thank the tournament ball collectors, who have the strange directive to try at all costs to collect the service balls before they bounce.
An instructions that the American considers a little dangerous, especially with a player like him, who literally serves missiles.
“I would like to thank the ball collectors. You have a rule here: when you hit a service, you are supposed to try to catch it in the air. And I don’t know who had this idea. It looks a little dangerous, but some of you have caught up with the ball. I hit it at 230 km/h. You have caught up in the air. You surely have a career in professional sport. Because it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. If there are broken fingers, I’m sorry. »»
