Interesting statements made by Ben Shelton in response to preventing further trouble during his match at the 2025 Australian Open against Pablo Carreño: "From a player like him, I learned that I wouldn't have liked to see him when he was at his 'peak'. I'm not saying he can't return to his best level, today he showed some aspects that made the match very complicated. I was a child when I watched him in the semifinals and quarterfinals of Grand Slam tournaments from my living room couch, and today I had some flashbacks."

It wasn't meant to be for Pablo Carreño in the second round of the Australian Open 2025. The Asturian, who is showing better performance with each game after his serious elbow injury that kept him out of the courts for a while, succumbed to a big hitter like Ben Shelton, whose game style suits the conditions perfectly (6-3 6-3 6-7 6-4). For a moment, it seemed like Pablo might stage an epic comeback after winning the third set in a tiebreak, but Shelton managed to rise again in a match where he displayed an exceptional serving level, as is customary for him. His next opponent will be the Italian Lorenzo Musetti.
