Australian Open semi-finalist Ben Shelton has taken the Grand Slam's on-court interviewers to task for being "disrespectful" to players.

American player Ben Shelton has criticized some of the questions and comments made by post-match TV interviewers at the Australian Open after reaching the semifinals at the Grand Slam tennis tournament.

Shelton criticized Tony Jones' comments about Novak Djokovic as well as on-court interviews at the tournament.

Keys, the No. 19 seed and a two-time semifinalist at Melbourne Park, had won the first set. But Rybakina, who like Keys is a precise winner machine when she is playing the tennis she wants to play, had taken the second by seizing the initiative and playing on her front foot. Halfway to the finish, Keys had become a passive counterpuncher.
