Young tennis star Ben Shelton uses on-court plea to extend his sister's Wimbledon visit, proving even investment bankers can't resist a bit of ducky charm!

What in the World is Going On?

Well blow me down! Seems like this Ben Shelton fella a tennis player – not that I know much about tennis I'm more of a 'relax on the beach' kinda duck – was playin' at Wimbledon. And his sister Emma she was there cheerin' him on. Apparently she's his 'lucky charm'! Now I always knew lucky charms were important. Remember that time I found a four leaf clover and suddenly became a golfin' ace? Heh good times good times.

Sisterly Support or Quack tical Problem?

Here's the rub: Emma works for some fancy pants company called Morgan Stanley back in the States. And her vacation was over! Can you believe it? Just when the tennis player was getting all the luck from his 'lucky charm' sister she had to fly back. It's like when I finally get my hammock set up just right and Huey Dewey and Louie decide to use it as a trampoline! Aw phooey! What a mess!

A Plea for Help (And Maybe Some Sympathy)

So what does this Shelton fella do? He uses his on court interview to make a public plea. A public plea! He tells everyone that Emma needs more time off. I tell ya the nerve of some people! He starts asking if anyone has any connections to Morgan Stanley to get her a couple extra days off. The crowd even BOOED! Like how rude! I mean I get booed all the time but that's usually when I'm tryin' to 'borrow' Uncle Scrooge's money for a 'small' investment.

Morgan Stanley You're the Winnah!

And here's where it gets interesting. A few hours later Emma posts a video on Instagram. SHE GOT THE TIME OFF! Can you believe it? This Shelton character is asking "You got the week off or what?" And she's jumpin' up and down like a hyperactive hummingbird! I tell ya this is the happiest I have ever seen her! Then Ben gives a 'shoutout' to Morgan Stanley. Well blow me down! Talk about quack tastic results!

Cancelled Flight Extended Vacation: A Duck's Dream

She captioned the video “thank you MS” with three blue heart emojis and “return flight: cancelled.” according to sources. This this is what I like to see! That is music to my ears! This is like when Daisy cancels her shopping trip because I promised to take her to a new clam bake! It is like a dream come true!

A Message from Yours Truly

Well folks that's the story! A tennis player a sister and a company that apparently has a heart (or at least a good PR department). I tell ya sometimes even *I* can't believe what happens in the world. Remember folks: always have a lucky charm and never be afraid to ask for what you want. Just don't ask *me* for money. You know I'm always broke! Aw phooey!
