In January 2025, during a press conference, Ben Shelton expressed surprise at how players were treated by broadcasters and interviewers during the Australian Open. He emphasized the need for more respect and suggested improvements in the relationship between players and the media. He said:

“I feel like broadcasters should be helping us grow our sport and help these athletes who just won matches on the biggest stage enjoy one of their biggest moments. I feel like there's just been a lot of negativity and I think that's something that needs to change.”

Ben Shelton says he has “enough responsibilities”

In a March 2025 interview with Vogue, Ben Shelton shared that tennis was more of a family sport, with his dad and sister being deeply involved. Growing up in American public schools, he felt tennis wasn’t as exciting as football, basketball, or baseball.

He admitted that playing quarterback and on the field, engaging in physical play, was the most enjoyable athletic experience. Besides that, he also revealed his dating status saying he wasn’t seeing anyone. He said:

“I have enough responsibilities on my plate right now. I’m just trying to figure out me.”

During an interview with ATP Tour in 2023, he shared that he has a good relationship with food and sometimes could become a big eater. Ben Shelton shared that his breakfast usually includes eggs, bacon, potatoes, and water, sometimes with orange juice.

On rest days when he is not training, he might skip breakfast since he doesn’t always wake up hungry, seeing the meal more as a fuel than a necessity.

For lunch at home, he typically eats rice, chicken, and vegetables with water. He chooses from what’s available at the player dining area, often going for pasta with chicken or sandwiches when traveling. On cheat days, he prefers Mexican food. He enjoys Japanese cuisine and Italian dishes for dinner, especially a good pasta plate.

As for snacks, he isn’t too particular and usually has protein or granola bars, along with bananas during matches. He also mentioned he focused more on maintaining balanced nutrition than counting calories.
