Ben Shelton Reaches First Wimbledon Quarterfinal

News summary

Ben Shelton, the 22-year-old American tennis player, reached his first Wimbledon quarterfinal by defeating Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in four sets, marking his third straight Grand Slam victory over Sonego this year. Shelton's powerful serve, which he attributes to his experience as a football quarterback, has established him as a genuine contender at the tournament. Supported by his parents, coach/father Bryan Shelton, girlfriend Trinity Rodman, and sister Emma, his off-court charisma was highlighted when he publicly asked Morgan Stanley to extend Emma's time off so she could support him; the request was granted, going viral online. This achievement surpasses his father's previous best Wimbledon result, reaching only the last 16 in 1994. Shelton's story has garnered widespread attention both for his tennis and his family's close involvement. He is now set to face either Jannik Sinner or Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals.
