Zverev's US Open Win: A Joke for Trinity Rodman
16 Sep
Summary
- Alexander Zverev won his first Grand Slam title.
- He playfully teased opponent Ben Shelton's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman.
- Ben Shelton made history as a Black American finalist.
Alexander Zverev has secured his maiden Grand Slam championship title. Following his victory, the German tennis star engaged in lighthearted banter with Trinity Rodman, the girlfriend of his opponent, Ben Shelton. Zverev playfully remarked about Rodman's attendance, humorously questioning if she had a game scheduled.
Shelton's appearance in the final was a historic moment, marking the first time a Black American man reached the US Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972. Despite Zverev's strong performance, which saw him win in four sets, he took time to celebrate with Shelton's father and coaches. Rodman, a professional soccer player, had traveled from a game in Washington D.C. to support Shelton.
