Brad Gilbert identifies weaknesses in Ben Shelton before Wimbledon

Ben Shelton has been advised by Brad Gilbert to improve his serve and return game ahead of Wimbledon. As the number 14 seed, Shelton is viewed as a strong contender, though he has not progressed beyond the second round in previous appearances. Last year, he lost in straight sets at that stage. Gilbert notes that while Shelton has a powerful serve, inconsistency could hinder his performance on grass. He urges Shelton to focus on improving his return to enhance his chances for a deeper run this summer. Gilbert ranks Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and Taylor Fritz as the early favorites for the title, also acknowledging Shelton's potential if he makes key improvements.
