Rising tennis star Ben Shelton has been traveling with his father and coach Bryan Shelton during his first full year of tour, and the duo were spotted on the training grounds ahead of Wimbledon.
The elder Shelton had recently announced he would be retiring from his job as collegiate tennis coach at the University of Florida, in order to support his son during his maiden ATP season.
"My wife, Lisa and I, we talk about it when we are talking to him on the phone as he's been over here in Europe for a couple of months through the clay court season," said Bryan in an interview with the official Wimbledon channel. "Just how mature he sounds and just the differences that we see and just his growth as a person,
"Obviously his game's going to continue to improve and i think what's most important as a dad and with my wife is to see our kids grow up and become great people and so just really proud of the man that he is more than the player."
