LONDON, June 30 : Fourth seed Ben Shelton accidentally hit a ballboy with a stinging ace and then felt plenty of pain himself as the highest-ranked player to fall in the men's first round draw at Wimbledon on Tuesday. "Tough loss. One of the toughest losses I've taken," said the top-ranked American after Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen, 140th in the world, prevailed 6-4 3-6 6-7(8) 6-2 7-6 (11-9) in a Court Two match lasting nearly 4-1/2 hours. "I feel like it was an uphill battle all day today."
