Shelton, the sixth seed of the tournament, got injured and had to give a walkover to Mannarino as he left the stadium disappointed and in tears. After the match, he talked about his injury.“Usually I'll play through anything and just find a way,” Shelton said. “And whether it's sickness or injury, if I can stay out there, I can stay out there. I’ve never felt anything like this before, so that was kind of tough, I guess the uncertainty.”Shelton said he's not the kind of player who would retire if there's a chance he can continue. He added:“I’ve got a lot to be grateful for. Been pretty fortunate with my life; blessings, talents, a lot of things God's given me. A small setback like this, yeah, it hurts. I was playing really well, I was in form, a lot of confidence. Just so many things to be happy with the way that I was playing, moving on the court, competing."Ben Shelton has had a season to be proud of, especially in the Grand Slam events. He is less than 200 points off World #5 Jack Draper in the ATP singles rankings, and his forehand is considered one of the strongest on tour.
