What time is Ben Shelton match today? See US Open TV schedule

Ben Shelton is one step away from the biggest hurdle in his quest for the U.S. Open title.

The former national champion at Florida fought his way through tiebreakers in his third-round match against Denis Shapovalov before turning it on in the third and fourth sets. Shelton ripped nine aces and notched 34 of his 47 winners over the final two sets to advance to the Round of 16 for the first time since making the semifinal in 2023.

The eighth-seeded Shelton now has to deal with Stefanos Tsitsipas, who started his run by taking down No. 10 Arthur Fils, previously white hot after winning the Cincinnati Masters tournament. If he can avoid another upset bid, Shelton can set his sights on a potential quarterfinal showdown with one of the favorites to win it all, Carlos Alcaraz, the winner of two U.S. Opens and seven grand slams overall.
