Ben Shelton in stitches as he reveals what he truly thinks of Taylor Fritz’s “biceps”

Ben Shelton made his honest feelings known about Taylor Fritz’s biceps. After laughing out loud at his comment, the World No. 14 then issued a lighthearted apology to his compatriot Fritz.

Following the defeat, a video of Shelton talking about Taylor Fritz’s biceps surfaced on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In a video uploaded on February 26, Shelton was seen guessing the ATP player based on a portion of the picture. Upon seeing his compatriot Fritz’s image pop up, Shelton broke into laughter as he said:

“Taylor Fritz, the skinny arm. There is no bicep there. Sorry bro, my bad,” Ben Shelton said.

Last week, while discussing the future of American men’s singles tennis, Andre Agassi picked Shelton as the nation’s next Grand Slam winner, saying:

“I think Ben has such an imposing game. He has such a high-end gear that if somebody were to go to heaven for a couple weeks to win one, I think he might be my pick for the one that could possibly get over the line first,” Agassi told the Bay Area Sports Wrap.

However, Ben Shelton had an underwhelming start to the 2025 season, as he began his season with an opening-round loss to Jakub Mensik at the ASB Classic. While he improved with a semifinal appearance at the Australian Open, Shelton couldn’t get past the early stages of the tournaments at Dallas and Mexico.
