Like other like son ... I suspect Ben will pass his father's total of two titles pretty soon

Ben Shelton arrived in Houston with a 2-7 tour-level record on clay and a five-match losing streak on the surface. He leaves with the trophy, topping defending champion Frances Tiafoe 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 to triumph at the ATP 250 event. The 21-year-old became the youngest champion at the tournament since 19-year-old Andy Roddick in 2002.

"The lefty’s father, former No. 55 in the PIF ATP Rankings Bryan Shelton, encouraged and coached his son throughout the week. Now both members of the Shelton family own two ATP Tour singles titles."
