American tennis star Ben Shelton is making waves at Wimbledon, not just for his impressive performance on the court, but also for a lighthearted moment involving his sister, Emma. After securing a straight-sets victory against Márton Fucsovics in the third round, Shelton playfully appealed to the crowd to help his sister get some extra time off from her job.
During an on-court interview, Shelton acknowledged his family's support, saying, "My sister's here. She's been here for every match I've played. She's been the lucky charm. But she has work back in the U.S. starting Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley." This revelation was met with boos from the Wimbledon crowd, prompting a playful response from Shelton: "Ay ay ay! Come on now!" Emma, seemingly embarrassed, covered her face and laughed along with the banter.
Shelton's plea highlights the dedication of his family and their commitment to supporting his career. His girlfriend, U.S. soccer star Trinity Rodman, and his parents were also present. This victory propels Shelton into the Round of 16 for the second consecutive year, where he will face Lorenzo Sonego.
Shelton holds a 3-1 advantage in head-to-head matches against Sonego, having won their most recent encounters at the French Open and Australian Open earlier this year. The 22-year-old American, currently ranked No. 10 in the world, is looking to continue his strong performance at Wimbledon and advance further in the tournament. His next match promises to be an exciting contest.
