Who wins the US Open quarter-final: Carlos Alcaraz or Ben Shelton?

donna.danes3043w ago

Carlos because he is so fast and knows how to play

Alcaraz in three - statement from the Spaniard 👀

bajaj.karan003w ago

Alcaraz in 4! I figure maybe Shelton can take a set of of alcaraz because of his serving mainly. But this poll is worry some. 11 votes for Shelton in three? and 45 for shelton in 4? Many underestimate carlos even after injury! So many have been proven wrong time and time again when carlos played his matches yet they think this.

daviescallum423w ago

Yeah I have no idea how anyone sees Shelton winning at all. I even thought you giving him 1 set was generous! 😂 Carlos is too good and only getting better

ecbaker243w ago

I WANT BEN TO WIN IN 5 SET'S,.. KNOWING CARLOS, IT'LL PROBABLY BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND, CARLOS IN 5 SET'S. L😆L!!!!!!

bajaj.karan003w ago

The only right guesses here are alcaraz in 3, 4, or 5 or shelton in 5. The other two options shouldn't even be there. Either way shelton has a 10 percent chance of winning this.

Carlos

Carlos in 3

digiden8763w ago

Yup, Carlos in 3.

bajaj.karan003w ago

Period lol

mycoker2k3w ago

Alcaraz will win in three straight sets 💪

tom.procter3w ago

I just don’t see Shelton taking a set based on the level Alcaraz has shown so far. Can see him reaching a tie break in a couple of them maybe, but think Carlos has this in straights

daviescallum423w ago

Yeah tiebreaks are Shelton’s only chance, and he’ll just have to clutch up and serve incredibly. Even then it might not be enough

gomatz773w ago

Don't see a world where Alcaraz loses this one. Shelton probably will be lucky to walk away with a set here

kilham.max3w ago

Agree with you. Who do you think has the best chance of beating Alcaraz aside from Shelton?

daviescallum423w ago

I think Shelton might snatch a set, but that’s all he’ll get. Alcaraz is too good. I almost forgot how good he was with how long he’s been out

kilham.max3w ago

Completely agree, I don’t think I’ve seen a player return from an injury quite so emphatically.

kilham.max3w ago

Alcaraz in three or four for me. He is simply a better player than Shelton and I'm not really sure what the American can do! He will have to serve superbly and pin Alcaraz in the backhand corner to have a chance.

bajaj.karan003w ago

He would also have to win most of the volleys and play the cat and mouse game better which is not happening.

daviescallum423w ago

Alcaraz’s backhand is a joke nowadays anyway, even that wouldn’t do much! 😂

peter.lynch3w ago

I’d love Shelton in five… but think it’s Alcaraz in three 😂

george.patten3w ago

I think Alcaraz in four. Shelton won’t go down without a fight, but not sure he has enough to really trouble him

leeclarke05083w ago

Shelton doesn't have a prayer. Won't lay a glove on Alcaraz for me

johnverrall113w ago

Not even giving Shelton a set here, if Alcaraz keeps playing like this he is unstoppable

matthew.johns3w ago

Given how good he has looked so far, I just can’t see Alcaraz not winning! Think he will beat Shelton in four close sets.
