Ben Shelton withdrew from the ‘Hotties’ clash fearing being smoked by Matteo Berrettini. Even though he made it to the quarterfinals of the contest, he did not take any chances as he was clashing against the Italian who other than his tennis skills is quite popular for his good looks.
The American had made a ‘promise’ in an earlier post by stating that he would withdraw from the said contest if he made it through to the first round of the Men’s Tennis Hotties Bracket contest. Former tennis star John Isner ensured that Shelton was reminded of the words he said earlier.
Former tennis players John Isner, Sam Querrey, Steve Johnson and Jack Sock had set up the hotties contest on The Nothing Major Podcast to determine the most good-looking man in tennis. A post was made on their Instagram account announcing the players who had qualified for the quarterfinals of the contest.
Ben Shelton commented under the post stating that he is even ready to let the authorities know of his withdrawal after Isner reminded him of his earlier ‘promise’. The stars engaged in a hilarious conversation as below:
Berrettini and Shelton were among a glorious lineup of men including Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul. Shelton believed that he stood no chance now that he has been pitted against the Italian.
Apart from his looks, Matteo Berrettini also stunned the world with his performance against Novak Djokovic this year at Doha.
