The sounds around him were made Ben Sheldon Today’s exciting Madrid comeback victory.
Mariano Navone In the game, the game was beaten 6-4, 5-4 as Stadium 3 fans supported the roaring Shelton hoped to get the third set.
Sheldon, the twelfth seed, heard the cheers and a run on the line inspired his first rest of the day.
Sheldon rode the left forehand and the left forehand, collided with the Navy 4-6, 7-6 (5), and entered the third round of the Madrid Open 6-3.
Shelton’s comeback attributed the crowd to the crowd and showed the front row running to five fifty fans expressing support.
“For me, it’s the crowd. I’m struggling today,” Sheldon told Prakash Amritraj of Tennis Channel after. “I’m not 100% locked. I have to dig deeper.
“The crowd definitely wants to see more tennis. [they] A little urged me to keep resting. Once I got over the hump, I didn’t break until that game…
“Once I finally did it, I relaxed and finally found the state of flow.”
For former Americans in Florida who played football in a noisy crowd and loved the experience, riding the wave of energy that interactive energy can create is nothing new to Shelton.
Supporters help Sheldon’s focus.
“For me, I do have some key issues – everyone has a little bit – and sometimes I have a lot,” Sheldon said. “For me, the crowd really helped me.
“It kind of helped me have fun…I had fun when I found this space, but tried to compete and then I played the best tennis ball.”
Traditionally, Sheldon’s best tennis balls were on tough courts to reach the Grand Slam semifinals in New York City and Melbourne.
Munich finalist Sheldon has now won five of his last six games when he was on the clay challenge. Importantly, three of these five wins had three sets and demonstrated Sheldon’s resilience and problem-solving skills.
Although his backhand is still in progress, Selton sometimes gets stuck, and today he sometimes chooses to play floating one-handed slices instead of taking extra steps, but a few extra steps, throwing his body behind the ball and hitting his two-hand hand, but he moves more comfortably on Clay and says his footsteps are helping his footsteps as he is standing out from Alex.

“I found my identity, what I wanted to do and how I wanted to play, I think I found my feet,” Sheldon said. “I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever played on red clay…
“For me, if I go well and I do well, I feel like I love it. I love it. I have played a lot of great clay players and I think I have learned something from each of them. I try to learn from every game and try to draw something from every game. I hope to be great on this surface one day.
“I’m happy with the improvement from winning two games on this ostensibly in the first year, not every week, but every week.”
Today, Sheldon saved nine of 11 rest points and needed a good stress point for Miami Open Championship and baseline powerhouse Jakub Mensik Next.
