Alright folks, let’s dive into something I was messing around with today: figuring out how old Ben Shelton is. Sounds simple, right? Well, it kinda is, but I wanted to do it my way, ya know?
First thing I did, of course, was hit up Google. Typed in “Ben Shelton birthday” – classic move. Saw something about October 9, 2002. Okay, cool. Now I gotta do the math. I’m terrible at math. Always have been.
So, grabbed my phone, opened up the calculator app. Today’s date is… lemme check… June 18, 2024. Man, time flies. Anyway, plugged in the numbers. 2024 minus 2002… that’s 22. But wait, he hasn’t had his birthday yet this year. So, gotta subtract one. Makes him 21.
But I wasn’t satisfied. I wanted to double-check, make sure I wasn’t messing anything up. I remembered seeing something about him being a young gun in tennis. Thought, “Surely there’s an official ATP profile or something.”
Went back to Google, searched for “Ben Shelton ATP profile.” Found it pretty quick. Scanned through it, and bam! There it was, plain as day: Born: October 9, 2002. My math wasn’t completely off! Felt a little proud of myself, not gonna lie.
So, the verdict? Ben Shelton is currently 21 years old. Will turn 22 later this year.
I know, it’s not rocket science. But sometimes, it’s the simple things that are the most satisfying. Plus, I got to practice my internet sleuthing skills. You never know when those might come in handy!
Just for kicks, I decided to see what else I could find out about him. Apparently, he’s left-handed and has a killer serve. They even call him “The Mountain”! That’s pretty badass. Also saw something about his dad being his coach. Cool family dynamic there.
Anyway, that was my little investigation into Ben Shelton’s age. Hope you found it mildly interesting. Now, back to the real world!
