When does Ben Shelton play next? How to watch American in Wimbledon quarterfinals
With Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic dominating men's tennis for a generation, Americans have endured a prolonged drought at Wimbledon, with no male player from the United States winning the storied tournament since 2000 or even making the final since 2009.
Can Ben Shelton be the one to provide a long-awaited breakthrough?
The 22-year-old American is one of the brightest young stars in the sport, with a No. 10 world ranking and a blisteringly fast serve. His skill and immense promise have been on display so far at Wimbledon, with victories in each of his first four matches, a run in which he dropped only one set.
He'll have his toughest test yet in the quarterfinals, with Jannik Sinner, the No. 1 player in the world, standing between him and a spot in the semifinals.
