Shapovalov accuses Shelton of grunting inconsistently during US Open match

During their US Open 2026 third-round match, Canada's Denis Shapovalov accused American tennis player Ben Shelton of grunting inconsistently, which he felt was distracting him. "I understand the grunt, but the grunt is coming different every shot...I'm just saying, he should make it consistent, no?" Shapovalov told the chair umpire. However, his complaint was met with boos from the crowd.
