'locked in' on Trinity Rodman's Washington Spirit comeback
Ben Shelton's father, Bryan Shelton, is a former professional tennis player and now serves as Ben's coach. On August 3, 2025, Trinity Rodman made her much-anticipated return to action for Washington Spirit after missing several months due to a back injury sustained in mid‑April.
Before the Spirit's match against the Portland Thorns that day, Bryan asked in the family group chat:
'Trinity playing on Channel 18, 12:30 or channel 26?'.
Ben then posted a screenshot to his Instagram stories, writing:
'My pops locked in on Trins first game back'.
Ben Shelton's post made it clear how excited his father was. Trinity Rodman had taken time off to recover, and during that break she had traveled Europe with Ben Shelton, cheering for him at his tennis tournaments.

Trinity Rodman support and media attention at Wimbledon
Trinity Rodman, a forward for the U.S. Women's National Team and the Washington Spirit, has been vocal about her back injury and recovery, but also recently spoke out while supporting Ben at Wimbledon in early July 2025.
On July 7, she criticized commentators who repeatedly called her
'Tiffany'
and brought up her estranged father, NBA great Dennis Rodman, during Shelton's matches.
In Trinity Rodman's own words on Instagram:
'For those who don't know… my name is TRINITY not Tiffany.' 'For Ben's matches… my dad's not even in MY life. No need to bring him up during HIS matches… It's his and his loved ones' moment.'.
That message came during Shelton's fourth‑round win over Lorenzo Sonego at Wimbledon, which advanced him into the quarterfinals. Throughout, Trinity showed steadfast support for Ben Shelton, balancing her own recovery and return with cheering him on at a Grand Slam event.

Tauson ousts Keys and advances to WTA Canadian Open semis
Danish 16th seed Clara Tauson stunned reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys 6-1, 6-4 on Tuesday and advanced to the semi-finals of the WTA Canadian Open. Tauson ousts Keys and advances to WTA Canadian Open semis Tauson dominated the opening set and took full advantage of Keys giving up a break on a double fault to open the second. The Dane won 12 of 19 points on her second serves and kept Keys at bay most of the night. Tauson will play Wednesday for a berth in the final against the winner of a later match between four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka of Japan and Ukraine's 10th-seeded Elina Svitolina. Keys joined a scrap heap of Montreal seeds, with the top five seeds and seven of the top 10 seeds ousted before the quarter-finals. Tauson, 22, seeks her fourth career WTA title after the 2021 Lyon and Luxenbourg Opens and this year's Auckland Open, where Osaka retired after winning the first set of the final. That was Tauson's only meeting with Osaka while the Dane is 2-0 against Svitolina, winning in three sets on clay in Portugal in 2023 and in a third-set tiebreaker at Dubai six months ago. Tauson, who also eliminated Polish second seed Iga Swiatek in the fourth round, is one win from her second WTA 1000 final, having lost the first in February at Dubai to Mirra Andreeva. The Dane dominated Keys in the first set, breaking in the fourth and sixth games, and Keys double faulted away another break to begin the second set. Tauson held from there to win, never facing a break point in the second set before holding at love in the last game to end matters after 70 minutes. Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, and 18-year-old Canadian sensation Victoria Mboko will meet in Wednesday's other semi-final on the Montreal hardcourts in the US Open tuneup. Rybakina won their only prior meeting 6-3, 7-5 last month in the second round at Washington. js/jgc This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
