GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Ben Shelton’s 2025 Wimbledon run came to an end in his quarterfinal match where he faced off against the No. 1 Ranked player in the world, Jannik Sinner. This is not the pairs first time meeting with Shelton being 1-5 against the Italian tennis player, prior to their matchup, with his lone win coming from their first face off in Shanghai in 2023.
