Ben Shelton is known for exuding charm and joy both on and off the track. However, during his US Open Media Day, he did not appreciate a journalist's question about why he doesn't switch his sponsorship from On to a more prominent brand, drawing a comparison to Jack Draper who switched from Nike to Vuori. Nevertheless, the American stood by his current sponsorship: "So, On isn't a major company? Have you seen their financial report from a couple of weeks ago?" The journalist retorted, "I mean the traditional ones for tennis players." It was then that Shelton decided to end the conversation: "Not Nike or Adidas? Sorry, man. I don't like that question."
