Morgan Stanley RTO Policy in Spotlight at Wimbledon
Morgan Stanley's return-to-office (RTO) policy is clear: The company's 15,000 advisors and most other employees are expected to be in the office at least four days per week.
But what happens if your brother is playing on one of tennis's biggest stages? After winning his fourth-round Wimbledon match on Monday, professional tennis player Ben Shelton, who's ranked No. 10 in the world, asked Morgan Stanley (live on international television) to give his "lucky charm" sister more vacation time to help him continue. He is set to play in the quarter-final on Wednesday against the No. 1-ranked Jannik Sinner.
The team of Ben Shelton of the United States, parents Bryan and Lisa, his girlfriend, professional soccer player, Trinity Rodman, and his sister, Emma, react to his on court interview after his victory against Lorenzo Sonego of Italy in the fourth round of the Gentlemen's Singles Competition at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Wimbledon on July 7th, 2025, in London, England.

"I've been playing well this week. It's not just been me here. My parents are here. My girlfriend's here. Also, my sister's here. She's been here for every match that I've played this tournament so far," Shelton said. "She's been the lucky charm. But she has work back in the U.S., starting on Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley."
Shelton's sister, Emma, works as a Virtual Engagement Associate at Morgan Stanley in Georgia, according to her LinkedIn.
"If any of you all have [connections] and get her a couple of extra days off so we can keep this rolling, that'd be great," Shelton continued.
It looks like it worked. Later on Instagram, Shelton can be seen asking his sister if she got off work, and she jumps for joy.
"Shout out, Morgan Stanley," he said.

Haaland Hints at MLS Move Inspired by Messi and Beckham
Man City star open to future US switch but stays committed to Premier League ambitions Norwegian striker Erling Haaland's sparked widespread debate after expressing openness to future move to Major League Soccer MLS citing inspiration from Lionel Messi & David Beckham. "No one knows what the future holds" In recent interview with TIME Magazine, Haaland was asked whether he could envision himself in MLS one day. His response: "No one knows what the future holds. What Messi's doing now is incredible and what Beckham did before him ... it's amazing" Despite the comments, the 25 year old Man City star emphasized that he's fully focused on his current club highlighting unfinished business in the PL & Champions league. Since joining Man City Haaland's scored 124 goal in 146 appearances including 85 Premier League goals in just 3 season. He's played major role in City's domestic and European success establishing himself as one of the most dominant strikers in the club's history. Although Haaland insists "now isn't the time for big change" his openness to potential move fuels speculation that MLS could be his post peak destination.
