Ben Shelton Credits Roger Federer for His Style Inspiration and Success on the Tennis Circuit

Ben Shelton credits Roger Federer as his style inspiration, taking inspiration from the Swiss master’s clothing choices and the elegance with which he dresses on every occasion. The 21-year-old tennis player responded to an interview with On, mentioning that his friends are “jealous” of the outfit he wears.

Shelton, world number 17, has been one of the standout players on the circuit this year, reaching the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and the semifinals at the US Open. Additionally, he claimed his first title at the ATP 500 Japan Open, securing a top 20 spot for the first time in his career.

Federer’s influence on Shelton

Shelton has earned the respect of fans and colleagues. With success on the court came interviews, exhibitions and participation in various tennis promotional activities. “A lot of the brands other players wear don’t do much outside of traditional clothing, so my friends on tour are jealous of the faded gear I wear. They all want to touch it. Tennis has a great tradition and a rich history.”

The American acknowledged that, both on and off the Tour, he is inspired by Federer for his attire and style: “I am inspired by the style of different people, other athletes and Instagram. Roger is one of those guys who can do it all. “You can do it on the court, you can do it off the court, you can do it at the Met Gala, you can do it at Wimbledon,” he said.

Shelton reveals his favorite tennis player

The American recently shared the tennis players he follows and named Federer as his favorite: “I’ve followed Rafael Nadal for a long time and I’ve tried to steal some secrets from him, but my favorite has always been Roger Federer,” Shelton said. “I admired Rafa and I think that sometimes, when I see myself fighting on the field, I adopt his traits on the field,” he added.
