Ben Shelton\u2019s season has been impressive so far, having reached a career-high ranking of seventh in the world following some big results on tour.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Shelton reached the semifinals of the Australian Open<\/a> in January, matching his best finish at a Grand Slam event. <\/p>\n

After appearing in his first final this year at the Munich Open, the American ended his grass swing by advancing to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In the last eight at the All England Club, Shelton lost to first seed Jannik Sinner<\/a>, who went on to secure a maiden championship in SW19. <\/p>\n

The US star\u2019s 2025 campaign is not over just yet, however, and with a busy hard-court season ahead, he has some big goals in mind. <\/p>\n

Speaking with Tennis Channel after his second-round win in Toronto, Shelton<\/a> said: \u201cNew York [The US Open] is the one that\u2019s marked on my calendar every year, but especially this year in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurin is a big goal for me. I\u2019ve never really, at this point of the year, been in a position where I\u2019ve given myself a chance to make it there.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think that\u2019s kind of, you know, the next step for me, solidifying myself up here at the top, and that\u2019s a big goal as I look towards the end of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d say those are two for me, but those are a little bit more in the back of my mind compared to the on-court everyday stuff that I\u2019m trying to improve on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to just, you know, become the best version of myself, shore up some of the holes that I have, make my weapons into bigger weapons. I think if I do those things, I\u2019ll end up sooner or later getting the results I want to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Shelton\u2019s debut run at the US Open<\/a> came in 2022, where he featured in the main draw of the tournament for the very first time.<\/p>\n

In his opening matchup that year, he came up against Nuno Borges, whom he took to a fifth and final set, but was unable to emerge victorious. <\/p>\nYearResult<\/tr>\n\n2024<\/td>\nThird Round<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2023<\/td>\nSemifinals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2022<\/td>\nFirst Round<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
