The Long Game, which is directed by Josh Tu and Portal A’s Nate Houghteling, tracks Shelton on and off the court around the biggest moments of the upcoming tennis season.
He is also keen to produce projects around his non-tennis interests including a sports psychology series to a format built around his love of vintage cars.
Shelton said, “I’ve 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. The Long Game shows the highs, the lows, and everything that goes into chasing the biggest moments. I’m excited to keep building from here and to share even more of my world on YouTube and beyond.”
