Tennis Star Ben Shelton Secures Extension of Leave from Morgan Stanley for His Sibling
In a heartwarming display of support, American tennis player Ben Shelton has been accompanied by his loved ones at the ongoing Wimbledon Championships. His sister, Emma Shelton, who works at investment bank Morgan Stanley, has been present at every match he's played so far, cheering him on from the sidelines.
Emma's presence at Wimbledon was further highlighted when she posted a video on her Instagram account, capturing Ben's victory in a positive and celebratory manner. In the video, Ben can be seen asking Emma if she got the week off, to which she enthusiastically replies with a wide smile. The caption of the post reads "thank you MS" with three blue heart emojis and "return flight: cancelled."
The video also features Ben mentioning "Shoutout, Morgan Stanley," indicating the strong bond between the tennis player and his sister's professional life. However, some spectators booed when Ben mentioned his sister's job at Morgan Stanley, an action that has sparked discussions about the role of family support in professional sports.
Emma's Instagram post does not contain any advertisements, a testament to her genuine support for her brother. The video has received a significant number of likes and comments, indicating widespread support for Ben Shelton.
Ben's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, who is a member of the U.S. national soccer team, was also present at Wimbledon, adding to the family atmosphere surrounding the tennis player.
Ben's impressive performance at Wimbledon continues, as he advanced to face Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in the fourth round. Shelton has won all nine sets he played in Week 1 at the All England Club, including a victory over Marton Fucsovics 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2.
Following his victory over Fucsovics, the 10th-seeded Shelton spoke in an on-court interview, expressing his gratitude for the support he has received from his family and fans.
As for Emma, she requested extra days off for her brother from her job at Morgan Stanley, demonstrating the lengths to which family members will go to support each other in their pursuits. Morgan Stanley employees seeking time off to support a family member at a tennis tournament would generally need to use their available leave options, as there is no specific public benefit at Morgan Stanley explicitly covering this scenario.
Despite the challenges, the Shelton family's unwavering support and Ben's exceptional performance promise an exciting fourth round at Wimbledon.
Tennis has been a family affair for Ben Shelton during the Wimbledon Championships, with his sister Emma, who works at investment bank Morgan Stanley, attending every match and cheering him on. Emma, in a heartfelt show of support, posted a video on her Instagram account that captured Ben's victory, mentioning "Shoutout, Morgan Stanley."
