American player Ben Shelton has criticized some of the questions and comments made by post-match TV interviewers at the Australian Open after reaching the semifinals at the Grand Slam tennis tournament.

US tennis player Ben Shelton claims that he has been “shocked” by the actions of TV broadcasters at the Australian Open, calling some of the interviews “negative” and “disrespectful”. Shelton’s comments come just a few days after Channel Nine presenter Tony Jones was forced to apologise to Novak Djokovic after jokingly saying on air that the Serbian was “overrated” and a “has-been”.

Ben Shelton looked to have the edge over the heavily favoured Jannik Sinner during their Australian Open semi-final. He even earned himself a pair of set points during the following game but struggled to find a first serve at the crucial moments.
