Ben Shelton ground down French veteran Gael Monfils on Monday to set up an Australian Open quarter-final against Lorenzo Sonego. The 22-year-old Shelton went toe-to-toe with the Frenchman, 16 years his senior, until Monfils pulled the plug exhausted in the fourth set. Shelton won 7-6 (7/3), 6-7 (3/7), 7-6 (7/2), 1-0 with each of the first three sets lasting almost an hour.
