Ben Shelton has reached his first Wimbledon quarterfinal — doing a round better than his father-turned coach, Bryan, did in 1994 — by beating Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5.

American Ben Shelton, the No. 10 seed, reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time Monday with a 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5 victory over Lorenzo Sonego -- one that also secured him the family bragging rights.

Ben Shelton may be the second-ranked American tennis player on the men’s side, but he’s the No. 1 supportive brother. After a quick and efficient third-round victory for Shelton, 22, at Wimbledon on July 5, he took the mic for a post game interview — and to advocate for some extra vacation days for his sister, Emma.
