Bryan Shelton

Bryan Shelton (born December 22, 1965) is an American former professional tennis player and coach. During his playing career, he won two singles and two doubles ATP tour titles, and reached the mixed doubles final at the 1992 French Open, partnering Lori McNeil. Shelton played collegiately for Georgia Tech from 1985 to 1988, and then played professionally from 1989 to 1997. Following his retirement from the sport, Shelton subsequently returned to his alma mater to coach the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's tennis team, which won the NCAA Women's Tennis Championship in 2007. He then served as the head coach of the Florida Gators men's tennis team of the University of Florida, which he coached to winning the 2021 NCAA Championship. He is the only head coach to have won a national championship in both men and women's NCAA Division I Tennis. In 2023, Shelton retired from collegiate coaching to coach his son, Ben Shelton, for the latter's professional career.
