Shelby Cannon (born August 19, 1966) is an American retired professional tennis player.
Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to maneuver the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will.
Cannon enjoyed most of his tennis success while playing doubles. During his career, he won three doubles titles and finished runner-up an additional six times. He achieved a career-high doubles ranking of World No. 27 in 1993.
Cannon played college tennis for the Tennessee Volunteers. While on tour, Cannon kept a residence in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
