Ben Shelton Advances Wimbledon Quarterfinals Amid UK Fan Backlash

Ben Shelton, the American tennis star making a strong run at Wimbledon by reaching the quarter-finals, has sparked controversy among British fans by harshly criticizing the traditional full English breakfast, calling it "garbage" and rating it zero out of ten, particularly disliking the inclusion of baked beans. His comments drew a flood of reactions on social media, with many British fans expressing outrage and hoping for his early exit, while some sympathized with his perspective given his athlete lifestyle. Shelton is set to face top seed Jannik Sinner, who is currently dealing with an elbow injury sustained during a tough match at Wimbledon, adding uncertainty to their upcoming clash. Sinner's injury, resulting from a fall early in his match and subsequent medical treatment, has cast doubt on his ability to compete fully in the quarterfinals. Outside the court, Shelton's relationship with professional soccer player Trinity Rodman has attracted attention, highlighting a supportive young sports power couple amid Wimbledon’s high drama. Despite the off-court distractions and on-court challenges, Shelton remains a prominent figure to watch as his Wimbledon journey continues.
