The Tennis Letter(@TheTennisLetter):Ben Shelton after losing to Zverev in the U.S. Open final “First and most importantly I wanna thank God. My successes are a gift. The failures are a gift. Being here playing in front of you guys is a gift. Sascha, congrats on these two weeks man. Your 2nd Grand Slam title. Two in one year. You’re one of the very best players in the world. Maybe the best player in the world this year. What you’re doing is incredible. The way you’re serving, moving, and playing. You work harder than anyone I know. You put more hours on the court than anyone I know. You and your team do things the right way. Sincerely happy for you guys to hold this title. It’s been a long time coming here.”
