The series serves as a prologue to 2026 by following Shelton\u2019s breakout 2025 season, which was cut short by a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always believed the journey matters just as much as the results, and Wheelhouse and Portal A are the perfect partners to help bring my story to life,\u201d Shelton said. \u201c<em>The Long Game<\/em> shows the highs, the lows and everything that goes into chasing the biggest moments. I\u2019m excited to keep building from here and to share even more of my world on YouTube and beyond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe launched Wheelhouse Sports to be a true partner and creative solution for athletes who want to share their stories,\u201d commented Stan Kaufman, VP of Wheelhouse Sports. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be in business with Ben and to build a platform where his fans and brand partners can create alongside him. Like Ant, he brings a rare charisma that transcends the court, and he\u2019s only scratched the surface of what\u2019s ahead\u2014we feel the sky\u2019s the limit for this partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nate Houghteling, co-founder of Portal A, added, \u201cThere\u2019s a reason Ben is in everyone\u2019s feeds\u2014he has the \u2018it\u2019 factor that you can\u2019t quantify but is unmistakable when you see it. With the launch of his YouTube channel, we want to expand the scale of Ben\u2019s storytelling while staying true to who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wheelhouse has entered an exclusive partnership with pro tennis player Ben Shelton to develop and produce a slate of original and brand-funded digital projects that will debut across his YouTube, Instagram and TikTok channels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":24324,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[12043,10528,3981,10530,6261,10531],"class_list":["post-24323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ben-shelton","tag-nate-houghteling","tag-portal-a","tag-stan-kaufman","tag-wheelhouse","tag-wheelhouse-sports","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wheelhouse Partners with Tennis Player Ben Shelton - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wheelhouse-partners-with-tennis-player-ben-shelton\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wheelhouse Partners with Tennis Player Ben Shelton - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Wheelhouse has entered an exclusive partnership with pro tennis player Ben Shelton to develop and produce a slate of original and brand-funded digital projects that will debut across his YouTube, Instagram and TikTok channels.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wheelhouse-partners-with-tennis-player-ben-shelton\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-12-12T16:47:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-12-12T16:55:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/Wheelhouse-TheLongGameBenShelton-1225.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wheelhouse-partners-with-tennis-player-ben-shelton\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wheelhouse-partners-with-tennis-player-ben-shelton\/\",\"name\":\"Wheelhouse Partners with Tennis Player Ben Shelton - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-12-12T16:47:40+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-12-12T16:55:50+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wheelhouse-partners-with-tennis-player-ben-shelton\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wheelhouse-partners-with-tennis-player-ben-shelton\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wheelhouse-partners-with-tennis-player-ben-shelton\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Wheelhouse Partners with Tennis Player Ben Shelton\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
