00:00How on earth did he do that? He doesn't know.
00:14Oh, what a shot that was.
00:17Well, Umber just staying the course there.
00:31Shelton doing all the running, making all the noise.
00:35Umber was solid in the centre of the court.
00:48Oh, that's great.
01:02What a return of serve.
01:09Didn't go for the percentage plate.
01:12He can.
01:17That's a lovely shot.
01:27Oh, what a return.
01:32Oh, what a return.
01:37Oh, what a return.
01:42Oh, what a return.
01:47And there are any more Zenet watches that can go out to bed
01:49And there are any more Zenet watches that can go out to bed Shelton.
01:52I think the strings are okay.
01:55A few hours ago.
02:03He's going there.
02:25It's hard work out here.
02:32You've got to put a lot in to get it past.
02:54One more time.
03:16Yeah, I've got a forehand, but I've got that as well.
03:18That's Ben Shelton.
03:28It's produced a giggle from both.
03:30Card time though.
03:38It's not a mic drop.
03:40It's a racket drop.
03:42Dad's up.
03:44Has he seen a shot like that before?
03:46Ben Shelton.
03:48Take a bow.
03:59No let rule.
04:11There we have it.
04:17That's Ben Shelton.
04:191-0
04:41And they're used to this kind of experience inside an arena
04:50That's lovely play
04:58Putting Shelton on the defensive
05:01Come on!
05:16Yes sir!
05:18That's so solid from the Frenchman
05:22Come on man!
05:30I got it dad
05:37Yes sir!
05:39Super man!
06:00He is bringing it
06:08The tennis
06:21And that's so good because I think Shelton
06:24That's great play from the Frenchman
06:31You've got to think Shelton is going to play it for you now
06:34Do I use it here?
06:35Take your time before you use it so it's almost the last point
06:40And you can get two points
06:44Oh my goodness!
06:50Umber thinks it's out
06:55Shelton
06:59Thinks he got a three-pointer
07:11The 50th point is a special one for Ben Shelton
07:16He is two quarters to one up and he is feeling good about his tennis right now
07:30What are we witnessing?
07:34Shelton in the semi-final watching on
07:46Three
07:48Two
07:50One
07:51End of one
08:08These slides on a hard court always make
08:17What a point! What a point!
08:23And here the pace
08:29Goodness gracious
08:35What a point! What a point!
08:37And here the pace
08:47That is great from Umber
08:57For Shelton
09:01Ten points the gap now
09:03He is closing in the 22-year-old
09:07On what would be his first UTS title
09:12His second UTS title
09:15His second appearance
09:25Goal!
09:28A forehand masterclass there is nothing anybody on a tennis court can do about that
09:38It's worth admiring
09:40This is crazy
09:41Of this world
09:44Yes!
10:08Yes!
10:09Unbelievable!
10:11I've never seen such a big forehand.
10:28Absolutely ripped the cover off the ball.
10:42And that is that. The man from Atlanta, 22-year-old Ben Shelton, becomes the 10th player in UTS history to win the title.
10:56The forehand has been ferocious in this final.
