Ben Shelton eyes 150 mph serve for U.S. Open quarterfinal against Carlos Alcaraz

Ben Shelton advanced to the U.S. Open quarterfinals following a 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 win over Stefanos Tsitsipas on Sunday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Shelton recorded 12 aces and avoided facing a break point during the match. The No. 8 seed now prepares for a Tuesday night matchup against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who maintained his tournament run with a straight-sets victory over Tommy Paul. Shelton has reached 150 mph or faster on his serve at other tournaments this year but has not yet hit that mark at this event. Alcaraz holds a 3-0 career record against Shelton and has remained undefeated against American players in major tournaments. Other American men advancing to the quarterfinals include Frances Tiafoe and Alex Michelson, with Learner Tien scheduled to play his fourth-round match on Monday.
