Ben Shelton is on cloud 9 at the moment. The American sensation is in the pre-quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Championships after some thrilling wins. Keeping the American hopes alive in the tournament, Shelton defeated Marton Fucsovics earlier today to equal his best performance at Wimbledon. While Shelton gave his all on the court, he had a ‘lucky charm’ present inside the stadium that kept his ship sailing at Wimbledon.
His girlfriend, former U.S. soccer star Trinity Rodman, has also been traveling with the team and offering vocal support throughout the week… But guess who got to take the “lucky charm” crown this time?
The 22-year-old was involved in a candid post-match interview after defeating Fucsovics. During that conversation, he thanked his family for backing him in the tournament and had a special message for his sister, Emma Shelton, who has been watching each of Shelton’s matches.
The American sensation revealed, “I have been playing well this week. It’s not just me here; I have a great team. My parents are here, and my girlfriend is here. Also, my sister is here; she’s been here in every match I played in this tournament. She’s been my lucky charm, but she has work back in the US, so on Monday, she works for Morgan Stanley. So when you have something next, so… give her a couple of extra days off so she can really give this role, and that’d be great.”
