Ben Shelton Reaches First Wimbledon Quarterfinals, Surpassing Father

American tennis player Ben Shelton advanced to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the first time in his career after defeating Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in four sets, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-1), 7-5. This victory marked Shelton's third win over Sonego this season, having previously defeated him at the Australian and French Opens. Shelton's performance was notable for his dominant second set, strong tie-break in the third, and a decisive final service game in the fourth set. The win also gave him family bragging rights, as it surpassed the best Grand Slam result of his father and coach, Bryan Shelton, who reached the Wimbledon last 16 in 1993. Shelton credited his father’s influence and is now preparing for a potential quarter-final match against world number one Jannik Sinner. Additionally, Russian player Mirra Andreeva became the youngest woman since Maria Sharapova in 2005 to reach the Wimbledon women's quarter-finals, highlighting her impressive performance against American Emma Navarro.
