Currently holding the No.10 and seeded tenth, Shelton has undoubtedly been one of the wonderful performers at Wimbledon. His current win/loss record is flawless. He has won every set in front of three rounds, dispatching the little-known Alex Bolt, the record-so-fast Rinky Hijikata, in 70 seconds, and Marton Fucsovics, thereby entering the Round of 16 . The 140mph plus booming serve has been another amazing factor, with one ace measured at 148mph; some credit has gone to his always having discussions about tactics with Roger Federer. Off the courts, he made headlines after referring to a brief booing incident in the U.S. Open appearance for an entertainer's brother working at Morgan Stanley when welcoming crowds behind his sister Emma staying in London. His grass-court numbers this season are 11–10, and the mental fortitude he displays in big matches confirms he's at his peak.
🇮🇹 Lorenzo Sonego
Ranked 47th in the ATP, Lorenzo Sonego forged his way into the R16 after a marathon win over Brandon Nakashima: a five-setter thriller-longest till date in this tournament. Sonego had indeed enjoyed recent times over grass courts, and not forgetting that the London season started well with straight-set victories over Jaime Faria and Nikoloz Basilashvili, the energy drain from the recent epic looms thunderously over his prospects. 2024 saw him taking out the Winston-Salem Open without losing a set, underlining his competence on grass. Sonego has never been one to advertise himself much on social media, with his work on the court speaking louder for him. But the fightback in the five-setter is now earning a lot of praise all around, with a lot of mentions about his strong fighting spirit under pressure.
