Ben Shelton is one of the most interesting and exciting prospects in American tennis. Here is a bio with reference to his parents, coach, net worth, and girlfriend, Anna Hall.
Ben was born on the 9th of October 2002 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, to Bryan and Lisa. His father is also Ben’s coach. Bryan was a professional tennis player with 2 titles under his belt (Newport 1991 and 1992); he achieved a world no.55 rank.
‘A college guy’
Ben conquered the USTA junior national championship in doubles in 2016. He won the men’s singles titles at the 2022 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships when playing at a college level for the Florida Gators. In the same year was named the ITA National Player of the Year. Shelton is currently residing in Florida.
Shelton has an enjoyable aggressive style with a wicked left-handed forehand that creates a lot of damage. Even if he seems to have a bright future ahead, he likes not to stress too much. During a recent interview, he commented:
“I’m just a college guy out here having fun. I don’t put too much stress on my matches. I’m focused and want to do the best I can, but it’s not do-or-die for me out here.”
Girlfriend Anna Hall and net worth
Ben has just won $54,887 in prize money (single and doubles). The American has been dating his gorgeous girlfriend, Anna Hall, who is 2 years his senior. Anna is also a supremely fit heptathlete who won the heptathlon at the 2022 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
