Next-Gen Atp star Ben Shelton admitted it was 'funny' to see multiple sports stars copying his iconic celebration of hanging up on his opponents but was overjoyed by its far-reaching influence.
Shelton famously introduced the telephone celebration at the US Open , immediately after beating compatriot Frances Tiafoe in the quarterfinals. With a hand gesture, Shelton attempts to answer a call but quickly hangs up. The celebration was an instant hit among fans on social media.
Shelton couldn't quite 'hang up' on Novak Djokovic in the semifinal, where the Serbian's big-match experience won the day. Instead, Djokovic mimicked the 20-year-old's celebration after winning the match. Djokovic later clarified that he 'loved Ben's celebration' feeling it was 'original' hence why he copied it.
Djokovic's actions divided opinion, but young Shelton didn't make a fuss of it after the match except for his father who criticized the 24-time Grand Slam champion for 'mocking...

Paris, May 1 (Ians) Paris Saint-Germain’s lead in the French Ligue 1 was reduced to five points on Sunday night after a humiliating 3-1 home defeat to Lorient, while second-placed Marseille rallied to beat Auxerre 2-1 in a later match.
The French defending champions had to play with one man down for most of the match as Achraf Hakimi was sent off only 20 minutes into the game after receiving a second yellow card for a stamp on Darlin Yongwa. The Morocco right-back also got booked for a tackle on Romain Faivre in the fifth minute.
Faivre, the 24-year-old French midfielder, organized the attack well for Lorient, sending a brilliant cross from the right to help Enzo Le Fee open the scoring for the visitors in the 15th.
Although Kylian Mbappe equalized for Psg before the half-hour mark, Faivre contributed another sensational solo performance in the 40th, drilling from the right and...

With the surprising victory, Morocco became the only African and Arab nation to reach the quarterfinals in Qatar.
Spanish team members and fans were devastated at the end of the shootout at the Education City Stadium in the Qatari capital when their team failed to convert even one shot from the spot — Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saved efforts by Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets while Pablo Sarabia struck the post.
In contrast, Abdelhamid Sabiri and Hakim Ziyech scored theirs and though Badr Benoun was thwarted by Unai Simon, Achraf Hakimi sealed a maiden entry in the World Cup quarterfinals for Morocco when he sent Spain’s keeper the wrong way.
Spain, the 2010 champions became another major European casualty after Belgium and Germany crashed out, with the former succumbing to Morocco in a Group stage match.

Paris, Nov 13 (Ians) They are expected to be the big stars at Qatar 2022 and French star Kylian Mbappe, Argentine Lionel Messi and Brazilian Neymar Jr. finished their engagements for Paris Saint-Germain (Psg) before the FIFA World Cup break with a 5-0 win against Auxerre here on Sunday.
Coach Christophe Galtier opted to start with his magic trio of Mbappe, Neymar Jr. and Messi for his side’s final outing before the World Cup in a Parc des Princes basking in the sunshine, where the supporters of the club from the capital had turned out in their numbers for the lunchtime kick-off.
With the newly-promoted Auxerre playing an ultra-defensive system built around the Psg trio, life wasn’t going to be easy for the team from Paris. But with a lot of creativity and intense pressure, Psg quickly managed to make a difference.

Berlin, Aug 22 (Ians) Kylian Mbappe equalled the record for the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history as he struck just eight seconds as part of a hat-trick in Paris Saint-Germain’s emphatic 7-1 win over Lille on Sunday.
The 23-year-old superbly lifted over Leo Jardim almost immediately from kick-off, with Ligue 1 announcing it matched Michel Rio’s eight-second strike for Caen against Cannes in 1992, reports Dpa. That set the stage for an utterly dominant performance from the champions as Lionel Messi, Achraf Hakimi and Neymar all added goals before half-time.
Neymar and Jonathan Bamba exchanged goals shortly after the interval before Mbappe added two more in the final 24 minutes to cap a memorable display.
Psg started in some style as Mbappe latched onto Messi’s ball over the top and lobbed Jardim inside 10 seconds.
Mbappe hit the side netting after rounding Jardim midway through the first half, yet Messi doubled the...

Rome, March 1 (Ians) Inter Milan took a four-point lead at the top of the Serie A table with a 3-0 win over Genoa at the San Siro, with striker Romelu Lukaku taking the center-stage.
Inter entered Sunday's game with four consecutive Serie A wins. With Achraf Hakimi sitting out, Matteo Darmian stepped in as the right-winger, while Christian Eriksen was preferred over Arturo Vidal, Xinhua news reports.
It was the perfect start for the hosts, going ahead through a counterattack just 32 seconds into the game. Lukaku surged forward after a give-and-go with Lautaro Martinez and drilled home with his weaker right foot.
Inter then dominated the game and made it 2-0 in the 69th minute as Lukaku drew the defenders by faking a shot, and then assisted unmarked Darmian to find the net.
The home side sealed the win eight minutes later, Lukaku was involved again as the Belgian's attempt was blocked,...
