Shelton gave it his all: "I'm really super tired".
Ben Shelton will have been one of the most used players at this Laver Cup 2024.
Accustomed to playing his best tennis in the competition, the American was lined up 5 times by John McEnroe. Appearing at the press conference tired but happy, Shelton explained that he had gone all out to bring home as many points as possible for his team.
He defeated Medvedev on the wire (6-7, 7-5, 10-7) and declared: "I lost in the singles yesterday (Saturday), so I'm not going to go through that again today.
It was a tough match. I really drew energy from my captain and my group. I played a lot of matches this weekend, and I'm really super tired.
John and Patrick have the hardest job. They have to choose the players. Me, I just do what I'm told."
In the end, Shelton's efforts were not enough, as the European team prevailed 13-11.
