Ben Shelton is one of the most well-known names when it comes to professional tennis players. Coming from a family where both parents were tennis players (his father, Bryan Shelton, was the Florida Gators men’s tennis coach, and his mother, Lisa Shelton, was a high-ranked junior tennis player), it is no surprise that Ben started playing the sport himself at a young age. During his college years, he reportedly helped the Florida Gators secure their first national title at the 2022 NCAA Championships. In 2022, Ben Shelton made his ATP debut, later announcing in August of the same year that he would turn professional instead of returning to college. Notably, after climbing through the ranks, Ben attained a new career high of world No. 5 in November 2025.
