@kevinstarski1598 I would not say immaturity. I would say it's cultural (in the personal sense, not the "black player" sense). A lot of us Latinos (some of us, in the personal sense, not in the general sense) also celebrate a lot of small battles and then lose at crucial moments. That's something we have to learn to do better. You could not really say that this is a "black thing" because we can see how strong many black athletes have been historically, even at the end of the line. On the other hand, we Latinos seem to be right behind the podium or first place many times. We could use all that extra energy to promote focus and consistency in crucial moments instead of celebrating too much too soon. Just my humble thoughts, I hope they do not bother anyone.
@kevinstarski1598 It's not races, it's just ethnic backgrounds coupled with cultural backgrounds. No, Shelton is not Latino, but he "suffers" from something a lot of Latinos suffer from, they get too excited too fast and get knocked out of tournaments early or lose in the finals (e.g. Colombians). That was my point. You are right, we should not judge based on "generalizing" statements, which is why I argued for "personal sense". However, given the observation that Colombians fail to live up to expectations in most tournaments, even though they have the talent to do better, and the observation that they celebrate too much, too often, and too early, my comment stands. I am offering some rare insights from a different background, which precisely implies that one cannot make generalizing statements, but these observations can still be useful in trying to derive or abstract what the problems are here, and the problems are: some athletes celebrate too much too often, instead of using that energy for further concentration and consistency, and this is especially crucial in long game sports like tennis, where concentration and consistency are more important than being cheerful or energetic for single points (which is something that Shelton and Camila Osorio suffer from, even though they have talent to be able to compete with the top 10 players and win actual ATP and WTA tournaments, for example). P.S. For example, look at how pumped 100 m sprinters are in the Olympics, for obvious reasons. The race is over in 10 seconds, so focus and consistency are less of a problem as in longer games or matches or competitions, like tennis.
I was gonna post a similar comment. His style might not be always effective, as he hasn't stepped up yet, but it's good for the eyes, including the two handed backhand (from a fun of vintage one handed backhand)
Yeah, I argue players like that waste a lot of energy and focus on screaming and grunting. Energy which could be placed into furthering their focus, concentration, and consistency. Although not my favorite players of the Tour, I do like Shelton and Camila Osorio on the women's side, but they both have this problem of perhaps celebrating a little bit "excessively" or "too early". I think it could also be a cultural thing, but maybe something they can learn to help tame or control better, given tennis is more of a "marathon" than a "sprint".
@@FamilyRUclipsTV-x6d yes, I agree. What makes him so adversarial is probably something deep though, and he should seriously work on it with a psychologist or a mental coach. He gives the impression to be very scared of losing or of being not as good as expected.
What a gladiator Cobolli is! Every time you think he's down, he hits some surprise balls, gets back up, and turns it around! LET'S GET THIS TITLE FLAVIO! 🏆
I think all of this criticism towards Shelton is undeserved. Personally I like seeing a player pumping himself out, the crowd enjoys it and it spices the game up. It's also funny if he loses after celebrating, but I don't think that's worth criticizing, it's entertainment value, and he still puts in a lot of effort in his games (unlike some other ''entertainer'' type players). I get the people saying that he can improve his attitude but that is definitely attainable and I'm sure he'll refine his mental game as his career progresses.
@@mattoneill1272 He can work on being less adversarial toward his opponents and channel some of his extra cheerful energy into furthering his consistency and focus. Of course it is in his nature to learn. We are humans. Have a great day.
@@nickathearn4488 Yes, it's a bit annoying, but it's true that Shelton spends too much energy being unnecessarily loud during tennis matches, energy that could be used to improve his focus, consistency, and quality of play. I understand that sprinters are eccentric and pumped up before a 100m sprint race that is over in 10 seconds, but during a tennis match you should focus on celebrating key points (e.g. see Djokovic today vs. Alcaraz as an example), not all points. I would like to see if historically there has been a Grand Slam champion who screams as often as Shelton does and during irrelevant points of the match as he does. Camila Osorio does the same. They are both among my favorite tennis players, but they need to change their behavior and focus on consistency and focus (yes, redundant, but focus on more focus is what you need in tennis, not focus on screaming and celebrating after every point). You do not see soccer players celebrating very often during a 90 minute match. At most, it's for: goals, a blocked penalty, a phenomenal goalie save, and that's it. I understand that tennis is a solo sport and you have to find inner strength, but screaming and being "loud" is not the only way to find inner strength.
Ben's death stare at the end of the first is hilarious in hindsight. Stick to letting your tennis do the talking instead of trying to intimidate your opponent. Clearly didn't work.

I might be in the minority but I find Shelton’s game quite ‘ugly’ to watch. Compared to others with similar ranking his footwork looks a little on the ugly side. I think his serve, grittiness and athleticism gets his out of holes but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired imo.
It's just very unpolished. So much extra, unnecessary movement on both his volleys and his slice. I just get frustrated with his shot selection - always comes in when he really shouldn't be.
@@paulrubinsteinvideo Yes I agree. I’m a complete novice when it comes to playing but I think his tennis IQ and anticipation lets him down when it comes to return of serve and deciding when to come to the net. I think he relies too much on his l athleticism which I understand why as it got him to where he is now, but at the same time I think it is holding him back from developing further as a player. Alcaraz used to suffer with this (and still does from time to time which is expected as he is still young despite his amazing achievements) but has made great improvements at playing more smarter and efficient tennis.
First time i saw Cobolli play was this year against Rune on RG, he played like a beast but lost a tight match, and I think he just needs a little steep to become elite
Wow what a comeback from Cobolli! VERY well done indeed Congratulations Cobolli and good luck with your staller performance against Koda once again! US
Shelton has no idea what he's doing. He designed his game is to come forward, yet his hands are bricks. His behavior is that of a lost child who needs love. His father should step aside as coach and start fulfilling his role as a father.
lololol You are psycho analyzing a successful pro player? You? A person who has done NOTHING in the game? lololol Emotional haters like you are hilariously cringe!!
He's a great athlete, just not a great tennis player. The US open semifinal probably did him a disservice in the long run, making him think he was better than he really was. Really needs to get to work on his many tactical and technical flaws. His attitude is the least of his problems... and his attitude is indeed bad.
I guess American college tennis plays a big part in that. You see many players there who don't respect their opponents... It's pathetic, and then when college tennis players go on the ATP circuit, they act like 13-year-old boys who can't stand to lose. Just look at Shelton... It's really a disgrace to the sport.
Cobolli a 20 anni è un giocatore che se la gioca con i migliori al mondo. Top 30 Atp praticamente raggiunta, ma questo ragazzo ho le potenzialità per andare molto più in alto nella classifica Atp..
22 anni.. è una bella differenza a quell' età. Cmq tanto di capello per la sua grinta e tenacia, non molla mai, ha decisamente meno mezzi tecnici di Musetti o Berrettini e forse anche di Arnaldi ma rispetto a Musetti e Arnaldi ha una testa 100 volte più da campioncino e si vede, non perde il focus e non regala niente a differenza degli altri due che si sbriciolano ogni volta che il piatto è importante.
ha ha ha ne è arrivato un altro! Tutte le settimane c'è un italiano nelle finali dei tornei ATP, tra poco ne avremo 4 nei primi 10, roba da chiodi e ce ne sono altri di puledri che scalpitano!
His got immature attitude mostly fault on due to his father's uneducated or undereducated mind, Professor passed athletics U know, and most of all lacking education, among other things made his son arrogant attitude and cannot take losing gracefully, dum bas phone call gesture, etc.! THE ONLY thing I am surprised is he is not wearing sisi looking earrings I give him credit unlike some male immature players are waring like Japan's shorty lefty, etc!
Love watching Korda play, super strong on both wings and a cannon of a serve, he reminds me so much of Hurkacz! As for Cobolli, what a fighter, it was so impressive seeing him turn that match around. Well deserved win for sure
Shelton il ritratto dell'antipatia, superbo e spocchioso; grande Flavio, certo che per la Coppa Davis potremmo schierare due squadre e fare una finale Italia A vs Italia B.
@@bryanmartin5901 Shelton is just the type of player you hate, because he is so annoying and loud on court. He played really stupid in the semifinal, his volleys were worse than my grandmother's... Ben needs to change his stupid schoolboy attitude to an adult one for a while. Jesus what a cry baby. This came from a tennisfan who respects 99.9% of the players on tour...
@@maximilian2974 I see that someone had my comment deleted, probably your weak sensitive brain reported it bc you couldn’t stand to hear the truth about his excellence and fantastic attitude, especially at such a young age
Weirdos like you are embarrassing! I love all the emotional people in the comments whining and crying about how Shelton plays. Getting outraged by him! lolol He is making money as a pro and you are sitting home in your mom's basement bitchin and crying about him. lololol Losers... He's getting paid doing what he loves...jealous? a bit? lolol
And that is just one of the reasons Shelton is utter TRASH shouting VAMOS!! On the very first break while being American in an American tournament that’s just UGH, he’s got some growing up to do. I’m also amazed at the lack of support Korda got and tiafoe 🤷🏽♂.
2 things: 1) I normally like Tiafoe, but it was kind of painful seeing how salty he was losing to Korda, despite Korda thoroughly outplaying him with elegance and class, all while being booed aggressively the entire match. Understandable to be disappointed about the L as the hometown hero, but to be so bitter and exhibit no grace whatsoever in the L is not what I expect from Tiafoe, one of the better guys on tour. Korda was on fire though, probably tired of being the 2nd-best athlete in the family -- Nelly is all the smoke :) Look forward to Korda finding form -- been a humbling few years since he declared himself a contender for Wimbledon. The style and potential has always been there; time to start delivering. 2) Shelton has been, is, and always will be a first-order clown. The death stares, frat-boy yells, extremely cringe "Vamos!" -- the dude just gets worse and worse. Top-3 talent on tour, bottom-3 likeability factor. Novak knew it instantly, as he's met his fair share of hotshots and dismissed them accordingly. Was once sure Shelton'd reach the top-5, but with this kind of immaturity, I doubt he'll even break top-10. Arrogance is anathema to greatness. Also -- how about Italy right now?! Sinner world #1, Musetti claiming bronze in an epic over FAA, Cobolli playing incredibly well, Darderi at #30 in the rankings, Berrettini making a strong comeback, and Errani and Paolini (WTA #5 herself) claiming the doubles gold over Mirra and friends. Time to make some pasta!
In terms of raw talent and pure ball-striking ability, Korda may be the greatest underachiever currently in the sport. If he puts it all together in his head, it will be bad news for the rest of the field.
Whats been killing Shelton lately is when he decides to attack at the net with volleys. Most of them are always easy placed to their opponent to hit back leaving him in a bad position for a big shot. If thats going to be part of this strategy, he needs to train more with those volleys.
Tiafoe fist pumping every single point he won while Korda did it twice, when he won the first set and then the match. Little sreaming girl Shelton at everypoint he won and then losing the match again... Sounds fair for the losers.
Shelton needs to figure out his game at the net or find other ways to attack. His hands just aren’t good enough right now to compete with Cobolli’s passers but he kept trying it over and over again. And man, my dude HAS to stop hitting that drop volley. It’s just not in his bag right now.
Shelton has become a kind of a bitter character it seems after his rookie year on the Tour. He came with a fresh vibe and a big smile, now he seems to oscillate between arrogance and weird defeats, shouting when his opponent misses and barely shaking the hand at the end. I guess his lack of results recently and his impatience led him where he is now but the attitude boy...
I LOVE THAT MUCH, when Baby-Ben exults each and every point as he would have just won the US OPEN - and at the end is losing the match! So SATISFYING 😊
Consecutive finals in Hertogenbosch and Washington for Korda, he's a great player but can't deal with the pressure of losing finals: 6 in a row...7 now?
I still don’t get big foes style. Soft second serve, keep hitting the ball back and not really trying to hit angles And coming to the net, dropshots and dropshots
If you was at the game like I was you would have said Shelton has a great attitude he was literally cleaning the whole court by himself before the game started but they didn’t show that on Tv I was at the game in the front row watching it
Shelton employs the baffling technique of celebrating too many small battles en route to losing the wars.
Immaturity

i know it's a hard concept for you to wrap your brain around, since it's probably the size of a pea like all other shelton haters 😂 Only coherent thought is "I hate this guy wah wah wah!" you haters are more obsessed with him than his fans
@@nickathearn4488 lmao yeah ok buddy. You don’t even have a brain, you just like to get on your knees. It’s ok, I accept you for what you are. Why don’t you worry about more pressing matters, like moving out of your parents basement and get a real job 😂
@@earnthis1 good for you bud 😂. He lost and will never get a grand slam, keep coping and brush off your knees when you’re done.
shelton needs to chill out. all this screaming. not everything is a match point. conserve your energy.
another behavior police weirdo spotted, what are you gonna do buddy? put him in timeout?
I might be in the minority but I find Shelton’s game quite ‘ugly’ to watch. Compared to others with similar ranking his footwork looks a little on the ugly side. I think his serve, grittiness and athleticism gets his out of holes but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired imo.
I agree as well
It's just very unpolished. So much extra, unnecessary movement on both his volleys and his slice.
I just get frustrated with his shot selection - always comes in when he really shouldn't be.
@@paulrubinsteinvideo Yes I agree. I’m a complete novice when it comes to playing but I think his tennis IQ and anticipation lets him down when it comes to return of serve and deciding when to come to the net. I think he relies too much on his l athleticism which I understand why as it got him to where he is now, but at the same time I think it is holding him back from developing further as a player.
Alcaraz used to suffer with this (and still does from time to time which is expected as he is still young despite his amazing achievements) but has made great improvements at playing more smarter and efficient tennis.
First time i saw Cobolli play was this year against Rune on RG, he played like a beast but lost a tight match, and I think he just needs a little steep to become elite
LMAO…. 📞 home Ben! 😂😂😂
He's not going home . There are two 1000s this month then the US open.Canada starts Monday.
Shelton and his hostile attitude are SO unlikable.
Triggered your emotions, huh kid? Poor emotional weirdos like you should watch something else?
cry more snowflake
Wow what a comeback from Cobolli! VERY well done indeed Congratulations Cobolli and good luck with your staller performance against Koda once again! US
Cobolli has a huge game but that serve is a huge liability, I hope he works on it, he could rise very high
When shelton lose, the tennis game win
when haters stay mad, everyone else wins
Korda was like teaching my friend Tiafo how to play tennis.😂❤
Good to see Korda winning. Nice smooth game
Shelton has no idea what he's doing. He designed his game is to come forward, yet his hands are bricks. His behavior is that of a lost child who needs love. His father should step aside as coach and start fulfilling his role as a father.
damn😭💀
lololol You are psycho analyzing a successful pro player? You? A person who has done NOTHING in the game? lololol Emotional haters like you are hilariously cringe!!
oh so he somehow just miraculously made it into the top 20 with "no idea what he's doing" ?? yea that seems like a pretty casual take
He's a great athlete, just not a great tennis player. The US open semifinal probably did him a disservice in the long run, making him think he was better than he really was. Really needs to get to work on his many tactical and technical flaws. His attitude is the least of his problems... and his attitude is indeed bad.
Two classless handshakes
I guess American college tennis plays a big part in that. You see many players there who don't respect their opponents... It's pathetic, and then when college tennis players go on the ATP circuit, they act like 13-year-old boys who can't stand to lose. Just look at Shelton... It's really a disgrace to the sport.
Bravissimo Flavio! Gran solidità atletica e mentale. Zero scenette e tanta sostanza. Ammirevole. Forza Flavio, giocati la finale al meglio! 💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Cobolli a 20 anni è un giocatore che se la gioca con i migliori al mondo. Top 30 Atp praticamente raggiunta, ma questo ragazzo ho le potenzialità per andare molto più in alto nella classifica Atp..
22 anni.. è una bella differenza a quell' età. Cmq tanto di capello per la sua grinta e tenacia, non molla mai, ha decisamente meno mezzi tecnici di Musetti o Berrettini e forse anche di Arnaldi ma rispetto a Musetti e Arnaldi ha una testa 100 volte più da campioncino e si vede, non perde il focus e non regala niente a differenza degli altri due che si sbriciolano ogni volta che il piatto è importante.
@@alfiomartins5390 Concordo pienamente
ha ha ha ne è arrivato un altro! Tutte le settimane c'è un italiano nelle finali dei tornei ATP, tra poco ne avremo 4 nei primi 10, roba da chiodi e ce ne sono altri di puledri che scalpitano!
Forse non entra tra I primi 10, ma tra i 15 o venti c

very fluent play from korda, nice one!
Sorry, Ben, wrong number.
rent free since USO 2023 😂
Shelton needs to tune up his attitude
He's a punk
Not his fault, his father is his coach and acts like one as well.
what attitude?
Dude acts like he still in college, every thing is over the top
His got immature attitude mostly fault on due to his father's uneducated or undereducated mind, Professor passed athletics U know, and most of all lacking education, among other things made his son arrogant attitude and cannot take losing gracefully, dum bas phone call gesture, etc.! THE ONLY thing I am surprised is he is not wearing sisi looking earrings I give him credit unlike some male immature players are waring like Japan's shorty lefty, etc!
Shelton is so hilariously bad lmao
top 20 is not bad, stop being delusional
Holding at Love, twice, when serving for the set and for the match. That is grownup tennis. Korda has grown. Tiafoe didn’t have a chance.
Sleeveless Shelton Cringe.
what's the matter snowflake? are you jealous that he has muscles?
What’s the handshake from Shelton that’s kind of crazy
Love watching Korda play, super strong on both wings and a cannon of a serve, he reminds me so much of Hurkacz!
As for Cobolli, what a fighter, it was so impressive seeing him turn that match around. Well deserved win for sure
Shelton il ritratto dell'antipatia, superbo e spocchioso; grande Flavio, certo che per la Coppa Davis potremmo schierare due squadre e fare una finale Italia A vs Italia B.
Shelton in 4 parole: molto fumo, poco arrosto.
@@paoloricchiardi9589 lots of gas, little horse power
Cobolli showed some real mental toughness being a set down; came up with some excellent shots under pressure; looking forward to an exciting final.
cry shelton cry
@@joaomarcosalmeida3769 man, a semifinal at the first summer hard court tourney is tear-inducing, huh? Whack jobs
@@bryanmartin5901 Shelton is just the type of player you hate, because he is so annoying and loud on court. He played really stupid in the semifinal, his volleys were worse than my grandmother's... Ben needs to change his stupid schoolboy attitude to an adult one for a while. Jesus what a cry baby. This came from a tennisfan who respects 99.9% of the players on tour...
@bryanmartin5901 ya calling people whack jobs but you are whining after every comment...ya makes sense
@@maximilian2974 I see that someone had my comment deleted, probably your weak sensitive brain reported it bc you couldn’t stand to hear the truth about his excellence and fantastic attitude, especially at such a young age
@@bryanmartin5901lol he ran from the Olympics
Shelton needs to stop screaming like he just won the match after every other thing. Its embarrassing.
Weirdos like you are embarrassing! I love all the emotional people in the comments whining and crying about how Shelton plays. Getting outraged by him! lolol He is making money as a pro and you are sitting home in your mom's basement bitchin and crying about him. lololol Losers... He's getting paid doing what he loves...jealous? a bit? lolol
Tioafoe doesn't have a plan B in all of his games, and I don't see him growing in the future either!
Why Semi Finals they have to play in different court ?
@@TranucTV I don't know.
@@TranucTVrain delays
he's too old washed
And that is just one of the reasons Shelton is utter TRASH shouting VAMOS!! On the very first break while being American in an American tournament that’s just UGH, he’s got some growing up to do. I’m also amazed at the lack of support Korda got and tiafoe 🤷🏽♂.
oh look, another obsessed power tripping weirdo trying to tell a professional how he should and shouldn't behave
@@nickathearn4488 he’s immature asf! Get tf outta here. His ego is bigger than his tennis! That’s ALWAYS going to hinder him, ‘power tripping’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2 things:
1) I normally like Tiafoe, but it was kind of painful seeing how salty he was losing to Korda, despite Korda thoroughly outplaying him with elegance and class, all while being booed aggressively the entire match. Understandable to be disappointed about the L as the hometown hero, but to be so bitter and exhibit no grace whatsoever in the L is not what I expect from Tiafoe, one of the better guys on tour. Korda was on fire though, probably tired of being the 2nd-best athlete in the family -- Nelly is all the smoke :) Look forward to Korda finding form -- been a humbling few years since he declared himself a contender for Wimbledon. The style and potential has always been there; time to start delivering.
2) Shelton has been, is, and always will be a first-order clown. The death stares, frat-boy yells, extremely cringe "Vamos!" -- the dude just gets worse and worse. Top-3 talent on tour, bottom-3 likeability factor. Novak knew it instantly, as he's met his fair share of hotshots and dismissed them accordingly. Was once sure Shelton'd reach the top-5, but with this kind of immaturity, I doubt he'll even break top-10. Arrogance is anathema to greatness. Also -- how about Italy right now?! Sinner world #1, Musetti claiming bronze in an epic over FAA, Cobolli playing incredibly well, Darderi at #30 in the rankings, Berrettini making a strong comeback, and Errani and Paolini (WTA #5 herself) claiming the doubles gold over Mirra and friends. Time to make some pasta!
In terms of raw talent and pure ball-striking ability, Korda may be the greatest underachiever currently in the sport. If he puts it all together in his head, it will be bad news for the rest of the field.
How come Tiafoe and Shelton forgot to flex again at the end of matches? 😂😂😂
Cobolli is fast man
Well done Sebastian!👍😍
Korda!
Il va gagner c’est sur!
Cobolli all the way!
Whats been killing Shelton lately is when he decides to attack at the net with volleys. Most of them are always easy placed to their opponent to hit back leaving him in a bad position for a big shot. If thats going to be part of this strategy, he needs to train more with those volleys.
Tiafoe fist pumping every single point he won while Korda did it twice, when he won the first set and then the match. Little sreaming girl Shelton at everypoint he won and then losing the match again... Sounds fair for the losers.
That’s the new gen over the top bs including alcaraz. That’s why I like guys like korda sinner ruud, win a pt move on
@@don9733
Then you definitely hated Rafa
Shelton needs to figure out his game at the net or find other ways to attack. His hands just aren’t good enough right now to compete with Cobolli’s passers but he kept trying it over and over again.
And man, my dude HAS to stop hitting that drop volley. It’s just not in his bag right now.
Shelton has become a kind of a bitter character it seems after his rookie year on the Tour. He came with a fresh vibe and a big smile, now he seems to oscillate between arrogance and weird defeats, shouting when his opponent misses and barely shaking the hand at the end. I guess his lack of results recently and his impatience led him where he is now but the attitude boy...
Nice to see Shelton get humbled and brought back to earth!
Tiafoe seems to really struggle when he’s not the only American on court.
I LOVE THAT MUCH, when Baby-Ben exults each and every point as he would have just won the US OPEN - and at the end is losing the match! So SATISFYING 😊
Cobolli's strokes were great, Shelton just needs to add a bit more variety to his attack.
Korda is so smooth & effortless compared to Tiafoe. Shelton is still an arse with his fist pumping on every point & his showboating‼
u r the only yt channel left that produces good highlight reels!🤝🍹
Man this TRUE Highlights, no only 3 or 4 points per game. 🎉

KORDA playing aggressively! I love it
Flavio che garra!!!
What a joy to see that annoying overacting shelDon.
Consecutive finals in Hertogenbosch and Washington for Korda, he's a great player but can't deal with the pressure of losing finals: 6 in a row...7 now?
Cobolli came with some determined game.
Mr Phone calls went to Alaska after the second set 😂
Shelton never seems to be smart about his net approaches. Almost like he's only practicing...
if ben doesn't fix is backhand return he'll be playing challengers in 2 years lol
Korda's amazing... definitely a future top 10.
the tiafoe korda handshake felt a little testy no?
I still don’t get big foes style. Soft second serve, keep hitting the ball back and not really trying to hit angles
And coming to the net, dropshots and dropshots
Korda came with some strong game.
Shelton is so overaaaaaaaated
Every shelton loss is an inch closer to making him a bit more humble. Still a long way to go though.
lol dude has no class, Cobolli went from a hug at the net😂
Shelton’s punk attitude It’s very well aligned with his main clothes sponsor values.
I'm so proud of Flavio, especially for beating an arrogant guy like the American.
💙💙💙💙💙💙
I am glad to see people filling in most of the seats at the tournament, even with the gross olympics taking place.
Pathetic, isn’t Fox on ?
It's good to see Korda getting better again. I still think he's got the game to be top 10.
Is it just me or does following the ball with the eyes hurt?
I feel like the camera quality is lacking.
If you was at the game like I was you would have said Shelton has a great attitude he was literally cleaning the whole court by himself before the game started but they didn’t show that on Tv I was at the game in the front row watching it
