The Mountain Shelton Secures UTS Victory in Frankfurt with Clutch Comebacks

Ben Shelton triumphed at the 2024 Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) in Frankfurt after pulling off some amazing comebacks. The event, held from October 18th to 20th, drew a lively crowd eager to witness thrilling matches.

The tournament kicked off with unique rules where players aimed to win three quarters first. Shelton, known as ‘The Mountain’, faced Jan Lennard Struff and had a tough start but eventually emerged victorious with scores of 15-16, 14-12, 17-13, 11-20, and 2-0.

On the second day, things didn’t go as planned for Shelton. He suffered a crushing defeat against Lorenzo Musetti with scores of 17-11, 17-9, and 19-10. This loss meant he needed to win his next match against Gael Monfils to stay in the competition. In a nail-biting finish decided by sudden death , Shelton managed to win with scores of 19-10, 9-18, 20-10, 14-15, and finally clinched it at 2-0.

Unexpected Challenges:

Advancing from second place in his group led him to face Thanasi Kokkinakis in the semi-finals. Kokkinakis was on fire during this event; even Denis Shapovalov jokingly compared him to Roger Federer: “I am not playing vs Kokkinakis. I am playing against Roger (Federer). Just kidding.”

Kokkinakis displayed Federer-like brilliance by defeating opponents such as Shapovalov and Dominic Thiem effortlessly but could only maintain that level for two quarters against Shelton.

Fans might think it was surprising how quickly things changed for Ben during these matches.

Shelton found himself trailing two quarters down yet again but staged an incredible comeback winning the match with scores of 9-15, 9-12 before turning it around at last minute: capturing victory through sheer determination by scoring consecutively at crucial moments—15–13 then narrowly edging out another quarter win—12–11 followed up decisively when needed most sealing final scoreline triumphantly—2–0!

In the final showdown against Ugo Humbert who bested Musetti earlier (scores: Humbert won over Musetti -11–16; then rallied back strong taking next three sets consecutively –16–10; followed closely thereafter –15–13 twice), Ben once more demonstrated resilience overcoming initial setback losing first set heavily -10–19 before rallying hard reversing fortunes dramatically seizing control ultimately prevailing victoriously securing championship title emphatically closing out remaining sets convincingly finishing sequence thusly recorded officially now forevermore etched into history
