Great stage, Big Ben.
US Ben Shelton continues to prove his value in diplomas while he enabled the past Lorenzo Sonego For the third time this year to reach the quarter-finals of his daughter Wimbledon, 3-6 6-1 7-6 (1) 7-5 to become the youngest American who reached the last eight in championships since 2004.
Shelton, which improves at 11-2 in major in 2025, is only defeated by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz this year in the Grand Slams. Sonego has probably seen enough Shelton this year. The duo became the first duo to compete a single match in the 3 Grand Slam Tournaments of the year since 1984, when Jimmy Connors and John Minecade met in Roland Garros, Wimbledon and US Open (Aussie Open was played last during this time).
All four matches have been close, but it has always been the 22-year-old American who fought.
