Talk about a power couple! Trinity Rodman crashed Ben Shelton’s US Open press conference with a question that left him blushing. She didn’t hold back on his serve speed, leading to a hilarious exchange. What do you think of this playful courtside commentary?

In an unexpected and highly amusing turn of events at the 2025 US Open, rising tennis star Ben Shelton found himself on the receiving end of a playful yet pointed question from none other than his girlfriend, soccer sensation Trinity Rodman, during a post-match press conference.

Following his Men’s Singles Second Round victory against Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta, Shelton was concluding his media duties when a familiar voice cut through the air. Equipped with a microphone, Rodman, known for her athletic prowess, delivered a “tough question” that instantly lightened the mood and brought a flush to Shelton’s cheeks.

“So, how did it feel not being able to serve faster than 135[mph] today?” she quipped, challenging his renowned serving capabilities. This humorous jab was amplified as Rodman continued with a witty troll, stating, “I just know you like to serve big, and it wasn’t breaking 140 today,” much to the amusement of those present.

Shelton is widely celebrated for his formidable serve, having previously recorded blistering speeds of 143 mph, 149 mph, and an astonishing career-best of 150 mph. His historical achievements even include a 163.7 mph serve back in 2012 at the Open Challenge Tennis, solidifying his reputation as a big server in the tennis world.

Despite the blush, Shelton handled the impromptu query with professionalism and a good-natured smile. He attributed his slightly lower serving speed to the “cold outside,” stating, “I think that was the main reason.” He candidly admitted, “I was focused on hitting spots and I didn’t hit those spots, so maybe I should just serve bigger – but, something I’ll definitely work on next time.”

This light-hearted exchange underscores the strong and supportive bond between the celebrity couple. Rodman’s presence at the US Open has been a consistent source of encouragement for Shelton, visibly boosting his spirits throughout the intense tournament.

Earlier in the week, Shelton publicly acknowledged Rodman’s dedication, revealing she “took the red eye from California last night to be here” after his August 24th victory. The camera famously panned to a happily blushing Rodman, who was spotted wearing custom pants emblazoned with “Big Ben” and his last name, showcasing her unwavering support for the world number 19.

As Shelton, currently the No. 6 seed in the tournament, prepares for his third-round match on August 29, Rodman’s presence and playful support could very well be his lucky charm, fueling his pursuit of the US Open title. Their dynamic adds an entertaining personal narrative to the high-stakes professional world of tennis.
