LONDON — American Ben Shelton has reached the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time. He defeated Denis Shapovalov in five sets. Sitting in the crowd was Shelton's father, Bryan, a former professional player who got to the fourth round at the All England Club 30 years ago and now coaches Ben. The younger Shelton has now won three consecutive five-setters. No one had done that at Wimbledon since 2018. And no one ever has won four in a row at any Grand Slam tournament in the professional era.
