At the end of his usual press conference, Ben Shelton took a few minutes to share some words about the situation between Novak Djokovic and a Channel 9 presenter at this 2025 Australian Open who mocked the Serbian: "I have been a bit surprised this week by the way players have been treated by the media. I don't think the presenter who mocked Novak is an isolated case. I have seen it with different people, not just towards me. For example, with Learner Tien, when he beat Medvedev. I think his on-court interview was disrespectful and embarrassing.
There have been certain comments about me in those on-court interviews by a couple of people, saying that Monfils was old enough to be my father, maybe he is, or that it didn't matter who I played against, that no one would cheer for me. It may be true, but I don't think it's respectful coming from someone I don't know. I think broadcasters should help the sport grow, for us to enjoy a great moment. There is a lot of negativity, and I believe it's something that needs to change."
Interesting end to Ben Shelton’s press conference.

The second set had barely begun when Lorenzo Sonego produced a true masterpiece against Ben Shelton. An airborne volley that left the Italian sprawling on the ground. It seemed as though Shelton could reach it for a return, but the ball ended up back on the other side of the court without the American even touching it, a play rarely seen that requires an extreme slice on the ball. Shelton was stunned by the shot and could only shake hands with his opponent in congratulation.
