Ben Shelton - ‘I am not a tourist, I am ready to compete against anybody’ - Players' Voice

It is barely March. However, Ben Shelton has had himself a breakout year. Prior to the Australian Open, the 20-year-old had never left the United States.

His first foray outside of the US saw Shelton make the last eight at the Australian Open, where he fell to fellow American Tommy Paul.
