Ben Shelton continues to demonstrate to both insiders and outsiders that he belongs to the elite of this sport. He may not be the most consistent player, but he possesses a mindset and courage that elevate his game in important tournaments, racking up Grand Slam quarterfinals aplenty despite his relatively short career at the top level of the circuit. This will be his third time reaching this stage in Australia and the fifth time globally, a fantastic statistic on which he, however, does not want to dwell.

His task to defend last year's semifinals will be tough: on the horizon looms a certain Jannik Sinner, the player who has defeated him in their last seven direct encounters, the man on a mission to claim his third consecutive Australian Open title. However, to tackle this challenge, the American's confidence is sky-high: he has only dropped a set against Ruud, his forehand and serve are working like never before, and he seems to approach each match with a tactical maturity he lacked in previous years. Are these ingredients pointing towards a potential major tournament upset? Only time will tell, but one thing Ben is sure of is his unwavering belief in his abilities, a stance he made clear in his recent press conference.

Shelton Expresses Confidence in Defeating Sinner in Australia, Explaining Why He is a Much Better Player Than Last Year

- He Only Lost One Point at the Net Against a Strong Baseline Player Like Ruud, Reflecting His Improvement in That Aspect

"I think today I made a lot of plays. I hit volleys that I would have missed some time ago, but I feel very confident about my net game right now. I'm making great decisions, so I don't have to rush and overhit the ball. I'm approaching the net at the right times during serves and shots, choosing the right moments, and that's why I'm winning a lot of points. I can move forward and exploit the moment when my opponent is far back, using drop shots when needed. I think my decision-making today was very clean, very accurate."

- His Father, the Biggest Fan of a Good Day at the Net

"Oh, he loves it. I think he would prefer me to volley well and lose the match than... (smiles) It's a part of my game where he has had a tremendous influence. He was a great serve-and-volley player, and over the years, he has helped me feel better at the net and, overall, be better there. It's clear that we are in a different era of this sport; players are so good from the baseline that it compels you to be creative in when to serve and when to approach the net. There are many players who excel in specific areas of the game for me to claim the points. I am very strategic about which serves I can use to come in and volley."

- How to Convince Himself That This Match Against Jannik Sinner Will Be Different From Last Year's Here Or at Wimbledon, Where Defeats Came with Relative Ease?

"My game is very different. First off, how I'm executing my plays at the net will give me a significant advantage. The way I'm varying the pace from the baseline is very different from a year ago. Today, I struggled to find my rhythm; it was my first time playing at night here, and the conditions are completely different. However, I managed to grind out a tough four-set win, and I feel like I've never hit the ball with my forehand as well as in this tournament. I feel like I have great ball control and that I'm hitting the ball harder than ever.

Also, I believe my return game has improved significantly. A year ago, I was uncomfortable returning from my forehand side, unable to put many returns in play; I had to use the chip shot a lot to get the ball in. Now, I'm reaching a point where I feel like I'm in 'wall mode,' unable to miss a return. That's something that helps me a lot because you have to display offensive tennis to beat the best. All these factors together make my game a bit different from a year ago. However, everyone is constantly working and evolving, not just me."

- Adapting His Game to the Night Conditions, Completely Different from Playing During the Day

"Honestly, the first batch of balls we started the match with today were huge. Incredibly big. Very fluffy, something I hadn't felt since we arrived here. The conditions felt really fast to me, even the Center court feels faster than in previous years, but it seemed like the ball had already been used. After his first service game, I went to serve, looked at the balls, and thought: 'Wow'.

My serve wasn't under control. The feel I had of the ball when it left the racket was completely different. I felt that way until the first ball change; from there, everything seemed more normal, the balls weren't as huge. I'm not sure if it was a one-off batch, but yes, the conditions at night play are different. I'm very glad to have had an adaptation match, to have found my rhythm. I don't feel that I played that well today in terms of my ball striking, but tactically, I played a pretty polished match when needed."

- Preferences for the Conditions of His Quarterfinal Duel against Sinner

"Both have their advantages. Right now, as I talk to you, it's 1 in the morning. In the past, I've always felt more comfortable here when we play during the day. The conditions are much livelier. I get a lot of action with my serve and all my shots. Honestly, I'm open to everything. I'm in a very good mental state. They moved me to a different court, and I accepted it without any issues, finding ways to do my job. My mindset will be the same on Wednesday; I'm content with any choice."

- Acknowledging the Great Tournament of His Compatriots Learner Tien and Iva Jovic

"It's exciting to see Learner and Iva. Iva trains in Orlando, at the same place where I train. Learner doesn't, but to see the progress in their tennis... My goodness, and I thought he was a little kid. He's not that small anymore, and he's playing crazy good tennis. It's thrilling, no doubt. Being a lefty, moreover, makes it very fun to watch. Tactically, he plays exquisite tennis and is a great athlete who keeps getting better. The duo of Learner Tien and Michael Zheng is very dangerous; I look forward to seeing where they both stand at the end of the season."
