What to make of it?
I'd prefer a bit more than to just say Sinner is a choker. I watched the entire match and I wouldn't characterize his loss as a choke. It may be
that Shelton intimidated him somewhat--nothing that showed, but maybe
took the edge off of Sinner's confidence.
Shelton must also be given credit for improving since last year. He is surprisingly mobile for his size, good stamina, and has forceful ground strokes. Currently his weak spot is consistency in an extended rally: he makes too many needless errors.
He definitely had Sinner on the defensive more often than not.

Sinner is a bit clueless in crunch situations cos needs a slam winning coach!

Shelton is very good.

Shelton is very good.Yes. I discussed this with my wife. I think that if he improves his
rally consistency just a bit, he could be top 5 and win a slam.
From what I saw he may have a tendency toward impatience--not much--but enough to cause unwarranted errors.
But he is a very robust, fast, 6'4" 195 lb guy with a serve that can
exceed 140mph, he is a true S/V guy (he appears to *like* it there) who
can play back, as needed, and he is left-handed.
I mean, there were multiple instances where he completely hand-cuffed
Sinner by serving directly at him.
This is a real formidable package of talent.
He has one other little thing that may work to his advantage versus some players, but to his disadvantage with some fans. He has a way of smiling
and chuckling that is *very* derisive to an opponent; it just looks like he's thinking "you poor inadequate sap". I think it will get under the
skin of volatile guys like Med.
Fun to watch in the future, I think.

A lot more firepower than either of those 2 guys you mentioned. And he is young, very young, still learning, evolving.Shelton is very good.Yes. I discussed this with my wife. I think that if he improves his

I don't get the comparison to Keys. We are forgetting that 21 is still very young. Federer did not mature into a real champion until 23.Shelton is very good.Yes. I discussed this with my wife. I think that if he improves his rally consistency just a bit, he could be top 5 and win a slam.

I think Shelton looks good as well(from the little I've seen of him in the past) but it's hard to predict how his career will turn out. He could be a top five player who can win big tournaments or he could indeed be a Madison Keys type player.
