[1/2] Ben Shelton of the U.S. reacts during his quarter final match against Frances Tiafoe of the U.S. at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, New York.
The 20-year-old will need all of his weapons on Friday if he is to stand a chance in his first meeting with Djokovic.
"I think that it's an advantage with my game style, playing someone who's never played me before," Shelton told reporters.
"I think that I can bring some things to the table that maybe you don't see in your normal match that you play on the ATP Tour.
"I think whenever you play somebody for the first time and someone who has been in this situation so many times and come out victorious so many times, that's in the back of your head," Shelton said.
