Ben Shelton wants his family courtside.
Following his impressive victory over Lorenzo Sonego during the third round of Wimbledon 2025, the tennis player made a heartfelt public appeal for his sister Emma Shelton to have extra time off work, enabling her to remain in the U.K. and witness him play in the quarterfinals.
At a press conference after his win on July 5th, Ben mentioned that his sister is present. She’s attended every match he’s played so far. People often attribute our wins to her good luck. However, she has to resume work at Morgan Stanley in the U.S. from Monday onwards.
In a remarkable turn of events, the athlete advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time in his career following his third-round victory. Later, he appealed to the crowd for assistance, which responded humorously by booing due to Emma’s unfavorable work schedule.
The athlete, who reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time in his career after winning the third round, subsequently requested help from the audience. This crowd amusingly expressed their disapproval by booing due to Emma’s inconvenient work schedule.
If anyone here has the ability to arrange some additional time off for her, allowing her to stay and continue what we’re doing, that would be really helpful.
Ultimately, the 22-year-old’s proposal was a clear victory. To be precise, Emma mentioned that she had been allowed to take some time off work, as her brother was due to compete in the following round only a few hours afterwards. She posted on her Instagram Story on July 5th, according to People, “My flight back has been postponed.
Additionally, Ben also shared his sister’s happy news on his Instagram Story, captioning a video of her jumping with joy, “A shout-out to Morgan Stanley.
Apart from Emma, other members of Ben’s close group have also attended his Wimbledon matches. This includes his girlfriend Trinity Rodman, who was spotted in London to celebrate this significant moment in his career. They confirmed their relationship in March.
Additionally, although the soccer player expressed joy about assisting her partner at the event, it was recently disclosed that she wasn’t content when a Wimbledon commentator brought attention to her presence in the audience by making comparisons to her father figure, Dennis Rodman.
In a July 7 Instagram Story, Trinity stated that for Ben’s games, his family serves as his support system, which includes his father. However, she clarified that his father is not in her life, and she doesn’t appreciate mentions of him during Ben’s matches or when discussions about him are not relevant to her own games.
As an ardent admirer, I couldn’t help but express my sentiments about Ben’s triumph at the tennis tournament. It’s a time for him and those he cherishes to bask in their glory. A heartfelt thanks is extended.
