Ben Shelton arrives at Wimbledon 2026 with one of his greatest weapons ready: a serve that adapts perfectly to grass. The American is aware that in London, big servers have a special advantage, but he also knows that to progress in the tournament he needs to continue moving forward in a key aspect of his game: the return.

Shelton himself explained in his press conference that the return has been an absolute priority over the past seasons. “It has been a huge priority for me over the past two years. I think my return has improved a lot, it's not just about the return, but also about the following two shots, which are important.” Grass poses an additional challenge for returners, something the American is very aware of. “Grass is probably the most difficult surface to return on. The truth is, I have played against many big servers in recent weeks, so I feel prepared,” he added.

For Shelton, matches on grass are often decided by small details. “If a player is serving very well on grass, has a great serve, it's more likely that they will hold their serve against practically anyone in the world. Faced with that reality, the goal is to seize the few opportunities that arise during a match. Being able to win a point here and there, to turn the situation around, take advantage of second serve returns, and be decisive in tie-breaks is the most important on grass,” he summarizes.

The American also wanted to highlight the evolution he has undergone since joining the circuit. “If you look at my return statistics in terms of the percentage of points won, break point opportunities, and the percentage of games I broke since joining the circuit, the difference is huge. Before, I was well below the average of the top 100 players. Now, I'm around the top 50 average in many return statistics,” the American shares.

“I think it's a huge improvement, especially being among the best servers on the circuit. It's motivating to know that I still have a lot of room to grow, but I believe I have taken significant steps,” he added. With an elite serve and an increasingly solid return, Shelton faces Wimbledon with the intention of becoming a more complete and dangerous player on grass.
