<p>Ben Shelton isn't the only tennis star in the family.</p>
<p>The pro athlete's older sister, Emma Shelton, played on the women's tennis team for the University of South Carolina and the University of Florida, where their dad — former professional tennis pro Bryan Shelton — works as the men's tennis head coach.</p>
<p>She told The Gainesville Sun in 2019 that Bryan has always prioritized her and her brother's interests in the sport.</p>
<p>"My dad takes a lot of time out of his day to train me and my brother (Ben) before he gets to work with all the guys on his team at 7 in the morning," Emma said.</p>
<p>During her time at the University of Florida, Emma took home multiple singles and doubles titles and climbed to No. 84 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association singles rankings in 2021.</p>
<p>So, who is Ben Shelton's sister? Here's everything to know about Emma Shelton and her relationship with the breakout tennis star.</p>
<p>She and Ben were raised in Florida</p>

<p>According to her bio for the Florida Gators, Emma was born in 2001 and grew up in Gainesville, Fla. She attended Buchholz High School, where she played on the girls' tennis team.</p>
<p>During her time at Buchholz, Emma was named the Gainesville Sun Player of the Year three times and was ranked among the top 18-under players in the state of Florida, The Gainesville Sun reported.</p>
<p>In 2018, she signed with the University of South Carolina to play on the women's tennis team. She told The Gainesville Sun, "I have been working toward this goal since I was so young. And to be able to share it with my friends and family is an amazing feeling."</p>

<p>Ben's family is made up of accomplished tennis players. Bryan reached the fourth round of Wimbledon in 1994. Lisa was an accomplished junior player, and Emma played on the University of Florida's women's team.</p>
<p>She transferred to the Gainesville-based school in 2021 from South Carolina, per her athletic bio. Florida coach Roland Thornqvist said in a press release that Emma was "the kind of person you love to be around" and that she would "add real leadership and work ethic" to the team.</p>
<p>Ben also played for the University of Florida, where he earned a national team title in 2021, per The New York Times. Emma posted a TikTok video that same year, joking that Ben "ruined" her status as the favorite child "by winning a natty."</p>
<p>"This was the same kid who said that 'tennis will not be my sport' when he was younger," Bryan told The New York Times. "So he definitely came to it on his own. There was no pressure from mom or dad or sister."</p>
<p>She works in finance at Morgan Stanley</p>

<p>"I've been playing well this week," the tennis pro said. "It's not just been me here. I have a great team. My parents are here. My girlfriend's here. My sister's here."</p>
<p>Ben continued, "She's been here for every match I've played. She's been the lucky charm."</p>

<p>The tennis star also revealed during that post-game interview that Emma would have to return "back in the U.S. starting Monday" because she had to clock in for work at Morgan Stanley.</p>
<p>When the crowd started booing, Ben said, "If any of you all have some [connections] and can get her a couple extra days off so she can [stay and] we can keep this rolling, that'd be great."</p>
<p>A few hours later, her younger brother confirmed on his Instagram Stories that she had been given more time off to watch him play in London.</p>
<p>In one video he shared, Emma starts laughing as Ben asks, "Yeah, you got the week off or what?" She jumps around in celebration, and he says, "Shout out Morgan Stanley!"</p>
