THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — Ben Shelton gets a lot of attention for his devastating serve. On Monday, he showed why he’s been putting all of his attention onto his returns.

His fourth-round match against Lorenzo Sonego took a major turn in his favor in the third-set tiebreak, when Sonego, who kept coming up with 130-mile-per-hour serves all afternoon, fired a 129 mph bullet at Shelton’s forehand as he tried to keep the set alive. Shelton reared back and cranked a forehand down the line that hit the baseline. Sonego didn’t even have time to make a move for it.
