Bryan Shelton, who peaked at a career-high ATP ranking of World No. 55 in 1992, has been crucial to the growth of his son, Ben Shelton said during a conversation. The current World No. 41 was also honest enough to acknowledge that his father was the one who was able to keep him in check despite all of his recent success.
Shelton said it during an interview: “My dad has a very analytical and a great tennis mind. So, he gave me lots of tips on what I did well and what I can continue to work on. I think he does a good job of keeping me grounded and realizing that there is always room for improvement. So he has really helped me over this last month.”
