American tennis star Ben Shelton advanced to the third round of the US Open Wednesday, but his soccer star girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, still had some critiques of his performance. Rodman, who is the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman, took a playful jab at Shelton’s slower-than-usual serving speeds when she was given the final question at his post-game press conference. “So, how did it feel not being able to serve faster than 135 today?” she asked. “I just know you like to serve big, and it wasn’t breaking 140 today.” Shelton cracked up, looking off at the media relations person, asking, “Why did you give her a question?” After a moment, Shelton was able to compose himself and give a candid answer to Rodman’s question, blaming his serves on the weather. “It was cold outside,” Shelton said. “So I think that was the main reason. I was focused on hitting spots, and I didn’t hit those spots. So maybe I should just serve bigger, something that I’ll definitely work on next time.” Rodman, 23, had been in the stands to support Shelton, 22, as he secured a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Spain’s Pablo Carreño Busta. Rodman, who became the youngest player drafted into the National Women’s Soccer League at 18 years old in 2021, went public with her relationship with Shelton in March 2025 after previously hinting at the romance online.
