Wimbledon 2024: Ben Shelton v Jannick Sinner
29th July 2024
Ben Shelton reached the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time in his career after an impressive match against Jannick Sinner. This milestone holds special significance as it occurred exactly 30 years after his father, Bryan Shelton, achieved the same feat at Wimbledon. Bryan's memorable journey to the fourth round in 1994 marked a high point in his professional tennis career, and now, three decades later, his son Ben has followed in his footsteps, creating a unique and touching family legacy in the sport. This remarkable parallel underscores not only Ben's talent and determination but also the enduring influence of his father's achievements on his own tennis journey.
