Q. How was the atmosphere for your first Davis Cup match?

BEN SHELTON: I thought it was an amazing atmosphere. Being an early match in the day, I thought there was still a great fan turnout and a lot of chance for the USA, chance for Australia, and obviously really cool to be a part of it.

Q. Thoughts on the level in the second and third sets.

BEN SHELTON: Yeah, I thought the level was really high. I had a little bit of a slow start, but once I got going, I thought I found a really good groove.

I didn't exactly like how I finished the match at the end. I thought I left a little bit on the table, but with how well he was playing, I was happy with how I fought back.
