Ben Shelton hits with aspiring junior, shows her phone celebration during Vienna debut

It’s not every day one has the fortune of hitting with a current Top 15 player. In Vienna, Instagram user @zoey_moves enjoyed the chance to do just that—and more—with Ben Shelton.

The left-hander rallied with the aspiring junior after arriving in the Austrian capital for the Erste Bank Open from Tokyo with a maiden ATP title to his name. A strong run in Asia that also included a first Masters 1000 quarterfinal in Shanghai propelled Shelton to a career-high No. 15 ranking this week.

"I have surpassed my expectations for the year," Shelton told ATPTour.com. "It has been a dream year for me."

Zoey showed off her baseline abilities in jeans no less against the 21-year-old. The friendly hit wasn’t all Shelton shared with the youngster, however. Afterwards, the American showed her his trademark landline phone celebration that went viral at this year's US Open.

While Shelton went on to lose his event debut in a blockbuster rematch with No. 2 seed Jannik Sinner, his impact on Zoey will all but ensure she doesn’t hang up her racquet anytime soon. As for the exuberant former University of Florida standout, he'll continue his tour of first-time visits when he contests next week's Rolex Paris Masters.
