Shelton's Exciting Confession: "This Victory and This Tournament Go to My Grandmother"

Competing and sticking to your "athlete" routine is not easy when on the other side, at home, a loved one is suffering. Ben Shelton is experiencing this firsthand, now in the quarterfinals of the ATP Dallas 2026. He didn't delve too much into details, but he dedicated his victory over Mannarino and his performances in this tournament to his grandmother, who is battling an illness. "This is for my grandmother. She's fighting hard, and I've tried to fight hard on the court for her as well". We wish her a speedy recovery.
