# Tennis: Ben Shelton arrived at the US Open brimming with confidence and determined to be part of the American surge many believe could finally break through at Flushing Meadows. Shelton returns to New York riding the momentum of his maiden Masters 1000 title in Canada and a career-high world number six ranking, two years removed from his breakout run to the US Open semifinals. Frances Tiafoe said he sees the US Open as a wide-open stage, with several American players in strong form and capable of making deep runs that could finally break the long drought on home soil.
