Ben Shelton squared off against Hugo Gaston in the opening round of the French Open. It wasn’t the American’s first time competing on the clay at Roland Garros, but it was his first meeting against a French player in the Grand Slam.
Shelton dropped the first set of the match before reeling off the next three sets to advance to the second round. Throughout the match that lasted two hours and 30 minutes, he couldn’t help but notice the very real home-court advantage Gaston drew from the crowd.

Karl-Anthony Towns made us cheer, cry and cringe during the 2024 NBA playoffs.
In 2022, after walking off the court like Eva Perón as portrayed by Madonna, after finishing seventh in the West and bowing out with an unremarkable, 2-4 first round loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves Center Karl Anthony Towns took out a one-page ad that easily could’ve been an email in the Star Tribune, thanking fans for the season, and reaffirming his dedication to his team and the state of Minnesota.
