Novak Djokovic’s Basel Loss Complicates ATP Finals Plans While Ben Shelton Falls to World No. 222

Given that the only match between Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic ended with the Serb bringing out Shelton’s own celebration after winning at the 2023 US Open, fans would not mind seeing a second chapter of the rivalry soon, as the Serb is potentially nearing the end of his career. At the 2026 Swiss Indoors , the two had a chance to play in a potential semifinal clash, but Thursday’s (October 29) results meant fans would have to wait longer for another match between the two.
