Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe For The Title! | Houston 2024 Final Highlights

just so easy for americans and europeans to climb up the rankings

Is it me or the surface plays fast?

"People who look like you and me" says the guy who must have like 12% sub-saharan DNA to the guy who both parents are from Sierra Leone and is 100% Black. This obsession with blackness is a joke.

thought ben was white

Atlanta baby🫡🇺🇸 huge shouts to Tiafoe tho

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the first time that a clay court final was played between two black men?

Pret aja melihat tofoe, na kira dia jago. Pdahal pret tifoe

I remember many guys saying Shelton would be a bad guy and a player without any potential... that has only been a few months ago. Ain't that crazy?
This guy is getting closer to the top ten and his game still has a few flaws that he can and will eliminate. If he does, he will be able to compete with everybody. I still expect him to become a top five player and stay there for many years. Sinner seems to be in his own sphere, but Alcaraz will strike back. Medwedew and Zverev will be there for many years and maybe Rune will improve and get there, too.
Probably these guys will dominate the next five years. At least, as soon as Djokovic's body doesn't allow him to win big tournaments (maybe in one or two years).

Francis's racquet looks like a baseball bat with strings.
What are the specs?

Not sure why Shelton needs to pull the people of color card "people who look like you and me", he only makes it more visible by statements like this, sets the "people of color" apart from the others.

Shelton needs to work on his backhand return.

I luv Ben Shelton! Think he is arguably a top 3 talent.
Which is why it pains me to say the following:

I don't think that Ben will ever reach #1 with his father as his coach. I mean, the father seems like a very nice and intelligent guy. Clearly knows tennis. However, I feel that Shelton needs a coach who has either reached the summit as a player and thus knows what it takes to get there......or has coached someone to be #1 in the world and thus again, knows what it takes to get there.

Mr. Shelton does not have that experience to give his son. And so I feel that Ben will never be #1 as long as his father is his sole coach.

Ben, showing us that he can win any match without the excessive shouting. Well done!

quarter final of grand slam level here

Great athletes and role models all around!!

Ben is real cute. Hope to see him continue with success

This should have been on Tennis Channel

Is this the first all black Atp Tournament Final in the history of tennis ??

Efficiency above style with these modern players…

US currently all about people "who look like you and me" 😢

Foe pass there at the end.

Ben reminds me of Nadal with those loopy forehands

The fact that pros like Francis can return serves from players like Ben, shows the skill level between pros and joes...

Two woke athletes 😂

Ironical, this was at the River Oaks Country Club, no colored allowed....

test

yyy

9999

Getting there... Next Nadal I must say

Like them both! Congrats Shelton!🌈

Well said speech at the end Ben!

boring

I think Shelton prepared for his "people who look like us" comment since his hair has gotten darker since the Australian Open.

Tiafoe was salty as hell. It seems like he feel some type of way that Ben only been on tour for a couple of years and is already a better player. lol

Foe is so good but needs a coach to help him unlock it

Light skin vs dark skin. Battle of 50 shades of black

Nice!

People who look like you and me 👀

They're both champions.

Congratulations to the Winner

Congrats to the bright, shining star, Mr. Ben Shelton, who's only getting better & better. Overall "game" throughout this match & classy trophy speech, on point. Perhaps Tiafoe's speech was edited & the part where he congratulated Shelton was omitted. "Screw you" certainly wasn't it, although the crowd laughed it up. Great job, Tiafoe, but humility is a beautiful thing. You're not going to win every match & you know that. Indeed, your "good friend" played lights out tennis & won. Again, well done & congrats, Ben Shelton!

basquetball

Boring.
That not a good spectacle

LOVE B. Shelton ❤❤❤

“People of color” the words of bigots and racists don’t let these white people put these nasty labels on other races

This has to be the fastest clay court

My aggrevation is we keep getting these negros that turns out to be dud's in this sports instead of seeking out natural talented brothers who can dominate this sport. That because black men who could really be a force in this sport don't have the resources nor most times the accessability to become tennis players. If we had in the South when I was growing up I would had taking that challege. This negro here had a chance to possibly be an Olympian for 2024 and he coward out it. He should just go and rest someone or put resources behind some true talent.

They don't have him brainwashed about skin color wow.
