Download and watch it live on SPORTVNOW app. Completeness that has wrapped the sport all around the frame. It's squirted across the strings and has somehow still gone in. Second ace! Oh, man. Even his bad serves are good. It's hard to read that one. Yeah, these two are going to put on a show. Yeah, we did expect this, didn't we? We're going to see the incredible shot-making, athleticism, and just the brute strength and power of Shelton as well. This was tough for Shelton because he tried to run around his backhand to hit a forehand, but he was really backing away. Not against this. Got to figure out how to conquer as. That was almost too easy. Just to serve out wide. Shelton almost always goes cross-court with that return. Into that forehand with court open. That's a recipe. You see him there calm down because the adrenaline has to be flowing with how loud the crowd got. Incredible athleticism from both these guys. Jumps, can't get to it. It still gets the ball back. No one makes that shot, Jimmy. Nobody, ever. That is the loudest I have ever heard this stadium erupt in all my life. He's re-found the forehand, Robbie. Oh, man. The trick of this ball was like a frozen rope. That thing did not deviate on its paw. Get a straight elbow. Beautiful footwork to get around that. Make it a forehand winner. Excellent return as well. Caught Alcaraz. He doesn't normally have to hit that many winners to win one point. Good get, good defense. Watch how quickly Alcaraz sprints in for this one. Tried his best to get it higher than the level of the net. Pretty good, this guy. So rare to see Alcaraz off balance. Yeah. He was just trying to show you that he also has hops, which he does. Great chances. Make that nine. Dexterity in the wrist. It was a heck of a lob. Ball. The stadium after that second set ended up being so one-sided, Jimmy. It's as though Shelton doesn't feel as though he has to press any longer. He was missing some ground strokes early on. That rattled around his frame, didn't it, Robbie? That's one of the few forehands that he hasn't got the hold of at the moment. That's actually the part of the court where he has not been as solid. It's low and smiling just because it is ridiculous. That was an unbelievable volley. I don't know how he got that ball. I don't know how Alcaraz got that one. But you're supposed to be the expert. But I just don't know how it's humanly possible, some of the things these guys were coming up with. Ball. But are not quite there yet. When he gets there. I thought he was in trouble here, Jimmy. I thought he was in trouble, although I thought Alcaraz wasn't. That's so good. The feeling that Shelton's going to have to play four quality points. He's frustrated, that he's tired, that he's worried. But then he comes up with shots like this, and they even amaze him. So he can't help but smile. It's mesmerizing, isn't it? Say more, Robbie. What did you see Corliss do? Just looked like he flinched. Flinched what? Something was sore in his leg or something off the previous point in the corner. Twice he did it. Just keep an eye on that. All of a sudden, Alcaraz is skipping and light on his feet again. He's back to doing the Alcaraz cavorting. Yes. Boy, is it hard to see anyone that's able to stand up to that. Shelton's not enjoying the let's go Carlos chant in the U.S. Imposed himself a little after that. Nice play. Shelton tells his kid, you've got to know when to amp it up a little bit, especially when you get to critical points or critical points in the sets. You've got to let the adrenaline kind of help you a little bit. Could he have gotten there? I'm not sure. I think the weight of this shot from Ben is pure perfection. Yes. A battle. There have been some nice hugs at the net today from the guys. Four hours and 28 minutes. The biggest moment of Ben Shelton's career. And he's got a standing ovation. And he deserves it. And that was remarkable stuff. All business. This ought to be a pretty good hug too.
