Alright, so I was watching some tennis highlights the other day, you know, just catching up. And this name, Ben Shelton, kept popping up. The guy’s got some real power, fun to watch. Then it hit me, he looks really young. Like, really young. So, naturally, I got curious.
Figuring Out His Age
My first step? Pretty simple stuff, really. I just picked up my phone – it’s usually right there next to me on the couch.
- Opened up the browser. You know, the usual routine.
- Typed in the search bar. Just put in “how old is ben shelton”. Didn’t need anything fancy.
- Hit search. And waited like, half a second for the results to show up.
Loads of stuff came back, obviously. News articles, player profiles, the lot. I usually glance at the little info box Google sometimes shows right at the top, or I look for the Wikipedia link. Those are generally pretty reliable for basic facts like a birthday.
Found his date of birth pretty quick on one of those profile snippets. It said October 9, 2002.
So, The Answer?
Okay, October 9, 2002. Had to do some quick head math. Let’s see… 2023 minus 2002… that’s 21. And since his birthday in October has already passed this year (well, depending on when you’re reading this, but it has for me right now!), yep, that makes him 21 years old.
Twenty-one. Wow. Seems like just yesterday he was making that big splash at the US Open. Time flies, eh? These young athletes, they just burst onto the scene. Makes you feel your own age a bit, doesn’t it? Anyway, mystery solved. Kid’s got a bright future if he keeps it up.
