Rennae Stubbs: Ben Shelton could benefit from looking beyond his father

Ben Shelton had many positive moments this season, but experts and fans expect this well-known tennis player to improve even further. Ben Shelton has come a long way in recent years and appears to be well on his way to showing his full potential. During her podcast Renna Stubbs shared her thoughts on Ben Shelton’s season, revealing what aspects of his game impressed her and what aspects he needs to improve.

“I think Ben Shelton. For example, I think his backhand was pitiful a year and a half ago. His backhand is very good now and it’s only going to get better. I think his slice can get better. He’s a big guy, so he might need to improve a little bit in terms of movement.“- she said, as quoted by Sportkeeda.

Compete against tennis players such as Jannik Sinner And Carlos Alcaraz is an extremely difficult task and it seems that most tennis players try in vain to compete against them and dethrone them. Ben Shelton is often mentioned as one of the players who has the potential to spoil their plans, and Stubbs expects the 23-year-old to have plenty of room to improve.

“But I think, in terms of his game, he has a lot. For me, he has a lot of advantages because I think there are technical things in his game that can be much, much better.” she added.

What will be crucial?

However, she believes that the key to success for a young tennis player would be a change of coach. Rennae is not exactly enthusiastic about the work of his father Brian, who has been his coach for two years.

called Stubbs Darren Cahill as one of the candidates who could help Shelton achieve his goals, but it is still unclear how much the American thinks about changing coaches.

“Look, his father was a great player himself. He got his son to where he is today. Could he add someone else to his coaching staff, like Darren Cahill or someone like that who has done great things? Yeah, maybe. Maybe we’ll see.”she concluded.
