Player predictions for 2024 👀 (Some may surprise you) 🔥 

He's played Rune before as juniors & beaten him, so he was well aware of the game & antics.

i was looking for this comment!! i really loved all his answers!!

yeah was surprised but honestly good for him!

da faq you talking about Europe is epicenter of tennis, most of masters 1000 and grand slams are being played in Europe + atp finals, "smart strategy" lol

@@Belec1996 You certainly tried it. I said what I said. It's a smart strategy. Europe & South America emphasize clay court tournaments & the grass season is way too short. Shelton is focusing on hard courts & there are plenty of those in North America. USA has its own Slam & 2 Masters, plus plenty of 500 & 250 events. Canada Masters isn't far way, either. Florida is the epicenter of tennis training. Shelton doesn't NEED to travel. There's plenty of tennis to be had in USA. Back in the day, most people didn't bother traveling to Australia to play AO which was originally held on grass. It wasn't until they made investments in creating Melbourne Park in the 1980's that the Slam grew more popular & regularly attracted top players. ATP Finals isn't fixed in Turin. It travels around to different countries, but historically was long held exclusively at MSG in NYC. Great Britain & France asked the US twice to join the governing body overseeing the Majors, because USO was more popular than the other Slams. The prestigious Davis Cup was started by its namesake at Harvard. As the global superpower, USA remains a dominant & highly valued tennis market with plenty of resources & infrastructure for nascent talent. USA leads all countries in Grand Slams, Olympic gold medals, & Davis Cups won. Don't let colonialism get you to thinking Europe is the be all, end all of tennis.

​​@@got2bjoshI agree that it is smart to include bigger training blocks in a season to develop your game. But to suggest that the U.S. alone is enough to develop well is ridiculous. But your mindset honestly shows why all americans are terrible on clay, and it could also be the reason U.S. players haven't won anything since Roddick. You have some real balls to say Florida is the center of tennis when U.S. players have been getting their asses whooped by european players for 20 years. It also seems funny to me that you say europeans are too focused on a colonial mindset while you are the perfect example of a stereotypical ignorant American...

I think hes dealing with a shoulder injury

You never see him ever again in a pro tournament never

No

That was quite bold prediction from the ATP itself. 😁

No, Shelton says Dimitrov won a title last week so it was shot right before AO

Wow, stone cold Francesco. Stone cold 🥶

I agree for Shapo but not for Felix he will get back into shape when is knee are healed I still optimist for the future

You shouldn't rush to use the word "impossible." Not just for this but in general.

i’ll be happy to come back here when felix is top 3 !

Its bold to say top 10 for this guy

Sinner @ number 1 I think is a good possibility if we wins the open tomorrow!

@@json_bourne3812yeah

Impressive prediction. As an italian myself, I would have not bet on Sinner ... now it feels like it could really happen, him being n.1 !

thats his boy!

🤣

The Big 3 are not friendly. Federer and Nadal were not friends until Nadal could no longer beat Federer off clay (Federer could never beat Nadal on clay) and look at the toxic rubbish Nadal has been saying about Djokovic in the last few months...

@@huzcer if we are talking about the same interview, Nadal said Djokovic is the GOAT due to slam numbers and after that it's up to fans preference. What is "toxic" about that? Also all 3 have called each other their greatest rivals and are still friendly. Federer and Nadal are closer since they came up in Tennis at the same time but there is genuine respect amongst them all.

@@ANGELOFDARKification are you talking about sand Sheikh Raf-al bin Saudal? .. That guy's reputation is in the gutter.

@@huzcer If you are above the age of 10 and speaking like this, it's honestly embarrassing 😂

@@ANGELOFDARKification Nadal signing up with the murderous Saudis. Now that is seriously embarrassing. What a sellout. Selling off his already damaged reputation to completely put it in the bin.

You know his name is also Arthur, right?

That’s a top 10 players easily without their injured knee he proove it many time

This is our big friend logic

Bro is acting like this is his last year playing tennis 💀

@@WhosCarlos0 Douchebag in this video saying Alcaraz going to win 3 this year. Okay douchie.

​​@pranaypant4057well, Michelson said, "2-3" slams actually.. And even though he's out of AO, still can win 2-3 slams this year..

What’s the deal with the hate towards Alcaraz… y’all are attacking a kid still

@@thatgirl9532 hes not a kid, young girl

I hope they're not

Rafa lost me as a fan taking that Saudi Money. Unfortunately, only Joker stands for something.

Atp making sure they get Saudi money through their stooge rafa. And doing everything to show him in a good light 😂

you mean Sand Sheikh Raf-al bin Nad-al Saudal? His reputation is in the gutter.

@@carlosrivera7800 yeah he does stand for something...good jokes! By the way does he stand for somethin after the excibition match he had there? Cause he didnt have to do it but i guess the money was too much for Nole to refuse it too. Find something else to hit Nadal.

@@user-wd7ue1wd6r i suppose the fact that he and Roger are still the most respected and loved players of the big 3 hurts a lot!

Djokovic doesn't "hate" Shelton, he is trying to tell him to grow up. Having a "celebration" meme when you haven't won anything is the height of immaturity. Running around after a 30-15 point in the 1st set is just juvenile. Grow up Ben and be a pro!

@@110Tiburon Djokovic has a ‘celebration’ to the crowd he does after he wins. Who says you have to earn that lol. Biggest piece of junk I’ve heard. Youzhny had a signature celebration that was pretty iconic. Shelton wasn’t being disrespectful, and still isn’t in his matches. He’s passionate, not disrespectful. Don’t get it mixed up.

@@110Tiburon Djokovic should stay in his lane. People have differing views on proper behavior. A matter of opinion. If anyone, Djokovic may concern himself with teaching Stefan and Tara.

@@jimnosnow4484 Oh sure, number 93 in the world having an iconic victory celebration -- sure, that works! Shelton may be passionate but he's immature, grow up kid, you're not playing ITA anymore!

@@110Tiburonbruh he was a 19 year old who was just very hyped to have made it into the semis of a GRAND SLAM. It’s not that deep. You obsessed Nole fans have just taken it way too seriously lol

Chris eubanks😂

he doesn’t hate djokovic

more like djoko and his fans hate Shelton since they bring him up all the time!

no not from shelton side, he literally said the past is in the past and keep it there

Novak has since said it was personal and an intentional display of disrespect toward Shelton from Novak (because he felt Shelton was disrespectful too). Since the incident, Ben has tried to let it go, whereas Novak and his fans have kept at it.

i assume you only know the top 5 lol

@@jamescordennnnn Only the big 3 , and it’s remnants.

not anymore soon with their age@@rammohan1991

The obsession that you Novak fans have with Ben Shelton is so crazy. You’re basically a fan at this point 😂

Only Djoko disrespected him Ben didn't do anything and all Djoko fans throw hate to the youngster

I agree with you spot on 😂😂

Sure, keep believing that. Butthurt ben comes up because he behaved like a dick. ​@@Nancy-sf2pl

​@@borisghadban8551really? You're as delusional as shelton thinking novak is 'just another player'

the future of tennis

Look at their 2023 end of the year “best”. Shelton praised Novak plenty.

is it that deep ??

The lengths Novak fans go to pretend there's beef between Ben and Novak

@@TraeBeneck Unlike you, I actually listen to what people say rather than imagining things by myself.

@@dunjaradojkovic6361 Ben has literally never said that there's bad blood between him and Djokovic. He paid Novak a ton of respect in last year's prediction video (or some other video, don't remember).

FR

cope and womp womp

He said the best prediction

He will win a Slam relax

And?

You can tell from the video Shelton is joking though?

@@ANGELOFDARKification clowns joke!

@@DaggerMan11 you must be fun at parties 😂

@@Nancy-sf2pl I think giving an insincere answer to these questions makes for bad content. I understand why one might disagree and think it's good content.

Explain

Can you not read their names that were plainly on screen?

@@TraeBeneck I’ll I can read is IRRELEVANT

well two are canadians and this vid is in jest are you for real

@@saami9606 I was counting them as American (north American)

Did you saw him play last wimbledon??

Agreed, the guy is jack of all trades, master of none. Atrocious to watch.

Inter winning serie a is an insult to Italian football

Shredded hip meat.

Your fave Rublev should do the same. we are so sick of seeing him throw bizarre tantrums on court.

Why do you hate Shelton so much? His personality will help grow the game

everyone talks about how classy tennis is but the fans are such big babies that hold the dumbest grudges lol

@@Nancy-sf2pl He is definitely emotional and wears his heart on his sleeve. However, he is gracious whether he wins or loses and does not disrespect anyone else during his meltdowns.

Heat shelton? Why do people have him? Because he has an obnoxious entitled bratty face? That just makes me sick 🤒🤕

Let’s stop dixk riding bird beak Novak

You Nole fans are so obsessed with Ben omg 😂😂😂😂

get a life

you are secretly in love with him aren't you 💕

Aww, does someone have a wittle cwush???
