Shelton blasts rule over Zverev’s extended serving routine in US Open final

In the US Open final, Ben Shelton criticized an umpire’s instruction to be ready while Alexander Zverev stretched his ball-bouncing routine, arguing the 25-second rule should not penalize players who adopt their own routines. Shelton contended he’s never unprepared, while calling for a rule change to curb delays—particularly regarding second serves—after Zverev was warned for time infringement following an extended pre-serve ritual. The match ended 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 in Zverev’s favor, highlighting ongoing debates about pace of play in tennis.
