During his on-court interview, Shelton thanked his family sat up in his player box.
Supporting the booming lefty this week have been his father Bryan, himself a former ATP star, mum Lisa, girlfriend Trinity Rodman and sister Emma.
Shouting out his family, Shelton said: “I’ve been playing well this week. It’s not just been me here, I have a great team.
“My parents are here, my girlfriend’s here. Also, my sister’s here. She’s been here for every match I’ve played at this tournament so far.
“She’s been the lucky charm but she has work back in the US starting on Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley…”
At this point, the No1 Court crowd incredibly started booing.
Stood in the crowd, Emma laughed as she placed her head in her hands.
Shelton continued: “Hey! Come on now! She works for Morgan Stanley so if any of you all have any connections, get her a couple of days off so she can (stay) we can keep this rolling that would be great.”
