In just a period of 15 months, tennis prodigy Ben Shelton has made his mark. Last year, the 20-year-old secured the NCAA singles title while representing the University of Florida. Then, after leaving college and turning pro, he was ranked 802 globally, but the recent 2023 U.S. Open finally awarded him his first break. In fact, all eyes were on the unseeded Shelton who went into the semi-finals as the last American man standing while gearing up to face tennis royalty Novak Djokovic. While Shelton enjoyed his newfound success, reports also suggest that his relationship with celebrated track and field athlete Anna Hall has been over for some time now.
The relationship between the two promising athletes was very private and the timeline of their relationship is still not clear. However, a recent social media post suggests that Hall is currently dating NFL cornerback Joejuan Williams who has just been signed to the active roster of the Chicago Bears.
