There’s been a lot of tension at this year’s U.S. Open, between Daniil Medvedev yelling at a chair umpire and Jelena Ostapenko and Taylor Townsend getting into a post-match spat, so it’s nice to see a moment of love.

After sixth-seeded Ben Shelton dispatched Pablo Carreno Busta in the second round on Aug. 27, he was surprised to get a tongue-in-cheek question from girlfriend Trinity Rodman before he wrapped up his post-match press conference.

“So how did it feel not being able to serve faster than 135 today?” the United States women’s national soccer team standout asked while Shelton buried his head in his hand in disbelief.

“Why did you give her a question?” he asked someone off-screen, drawing chuckles.

“I just know you like to serve big, and it wasn’t breaking 140 today,” continued Rodman, 23.

Shelton, 22, then played along and answered the question.

“Yeah, it was cold outside, so I think that was the main reason,” he said. “I was focused on hitting spots and I didn’t hit those spots, so maybe I should just serve bigger, but (it’s) something that I’ll definitely work on next time.”

As Shelton got up to leave, he couldn’t help taking a lighthearted jab at the moment.

“They’ll let anyone in the room at this point,” he joked.

Shelton does appreciate the effort Rodman has put in when it comes to seeing him play at the U.S. Open.

“My girlfriend took the red eye from California last night to be here,” he said after his opening-round victory over Ignacio Buse on Aug. 24. “Yeah, we’re here for the long haul and just looking forward to it.”

His comments came one day after Rodman played in a NWSL game for the Washington Spirit at Bay FC in San Francisco, across the country from where the U.S. Open takes place in Queens, New York. The Spirit won that game, 3-2, and currently sits in second place.

Rodman also gushed about her relationship with Shelton in an Instagram post in July in which she shared images of them together, along with clips of her training.

“Not the summer that I had in mind but still loved every moment,” she wrote, referring to her recovery from a back injury. “Can’t wait to be back on the field.”
