NEW YORK, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Ben Shelton's run to the U.S. Open quarter-finals dealt a blow to tennis traditionalists on Sunday after his win over Stefanos Tsitsipas left the men's draw without a one-handed backhand and ended a 149-year Grand Slam streak.
The elegant stroke has steadily yielded ground to the two-handed shot in the modern power game and at least one practitioner had reached the men's singles semi-final at a major each year since Wimbledon in 1877 until the streak ended in New York.

纽约，9 月 6 日（路透社）——周日，本·谢尔顿在美网公开赛上击败斯特凡诺斯·西西帕斯，晋级四分之一决赛，这对网球传统主义者来说是一个打击。他的胜利使得男子单手反拍选手退出了比赛，并终结了长达 149 年的大满贯纪录。
在现代力量型网球比赛中，优雅的击球方式逐渐被双手击球所取代，自 1877 年温布尔登网球公开赛以来，每年至少有一位双手击球选手进入大满贯男单半决赛，直到纽约网球公开赛才终结了这一纪录。
