Ben Shelton, who has attracted attention in recent years thanks to his powerful talent and style, appears unable to control his emotions after the match. Instead of congratulating his opponent, he offered strong criticism, drawing reactions not only from fans but also from experts.

However, the situation unexpectedly changed when Jannik Sinner, instead of continuing the controversy, gave an unexpected response that surprised everyone. The Sinner, with his courage and calm, didn’t respond ferociously to the attacks. Instead, he showed respect for Shelton and his fans.
