India, Sept. 13 -- There is a lot more than a trophy waiting for Ben Shelton on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, September 13.

One more victory would end a 23-year wait for a Grand Slam singles champion, taking Shelton where no American man has gone since Andy Roddick lifted the US Open trophy in 2003.
