What did Ben Shelton say after losing to Jannik Sinner at the ATP Finals?
In his post-match press conference, Shelton reflected on the challenging end to what was a hugely positive 2025 season for him.
“Yeah, tough to finish out the season like this, 0-3 at the Finals. Yeah, for me obviously a great year. A lot of positives,” said the 23-year-old.
“Tennis is full of highs and lows. This will just make me work harder in the off-season, make me even more excited for the 2026 season. But yeah, it stings, for sure.”
Shelton also addressed how he performed in the latter stages of the season after coming back from the shoulder injury he suffered at the US Open.
“Yeah, definitely not my best. I played one good match. Actually wouldn’t say that today was a bad match either. My match against [Andrey] Rublev in Paris I thought I played well,” Shelton assessed.
“Yeah, it’s just tennis. Everybody is wired differently. Me coming back from being out for a while, it takes me a little bit to find my rhythm. Trying to do that at the end of the year when guys are really, really in good form is difficult.
“For me, I’ll find it. I’ll find my movement, all the different shots around the court that I need. Today I played a good match from the baseline, from the net. I just honestly got out-served. That was kind of the theme all three matches I played here: the guys served better than me. That’s not a biggest concern. I know I have a great serve.
“Got to give a lot of credit at the end of this year the way that guys, in-form players, played. There’s no easy matches in my group. Yeah, came up a little bit short.”
