Ben Shelton's Family Ties Run North End Deep

Palm Beach knows the Sheltons before the tennis world caught on: Bryan and Lisa Shelton, the parents behind the player, are the kind of names the North End trades in over coffee. Bryan's own career on the court set the standard long before his son picked up a racquet, and Lisa's steady presence has been part of the story all along. It is the sort of pedigree the island recognizes on sight — talent that runs in families, not just careers that happen to overlap.
