Trinity Rodman Crashes Ben Shelton’s US Open Presser With Playful Serve Question After Third-Round Berth

The USWNT forward’s surprise query, captured by tournament cameras, highlighted her cross‑country dash to back the sixth seed.

Overview

  • Shelton defeated Pablo Carreño Busta 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 to reach the US Open third round at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
  • Rodman asked why he could not top 135 mph on serve, prompting his joking aside—“Why did you give her a question?”—before he cited the cold and missed spots.
  • The US Open posted video of the exchange on its official channels, drawing widespread attention across social media and news outlets.
  • Shelton, the tournament’s No. 6 seed, next faces French veteran Adrian Mannarino in the third round.
  • The couple went public in March, and Rodman has attended his French Open, Wimbledon and New York matches, including flying overnight to make his first-round win.
