Ben Shelton has checked out residence on the Australian Open, the place he’s into the third spherical on his match debut. The #NextGenATP American is way away from residence, although.
The 20-year-old is on his first worldwide journey. Naturally, there was one factor he was excited to see in Australia.
“I undoubtedly wish to go see some animals,” Shelton stated, earlier than cracking one more smile. “I don’t know if it’s at a zoo, however I wish to see some koalas or kangaroos, one thing like that. I feel that might be actually cool.”

The zoo got here to Shelton on Friday at Melbourne Park, the place for 2 hours gamers have been in a position to work together with a koala, snakes, wallabies, birds and possums. The American posed for images with the koala and a wallaby.
The lefty will attempt to test off one other first on Saturday when he makes an attempt to achieve the fourth spherical at a Grand Slam for the primary time. Shelton will play Australian wild card Alexei Popyrin.
