Shelton, Rodman, and the 3am win that made them tennis’s newest power couple

Shelton, Rodman, and the 3am win that made them tennis’s newest power couple

Ben Shelton, a professional soccer player, advanced to the US Open semi-finals for the second time ever with a stunning victory over Carlos Alcaraz. His girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, has been by his side throughout his impressive run, providing unwavering support. During Shelton's match against Alcaraz, a photo captured the moment Rodman brought out a miniature action figure of her boyfriend, serving as her good luck charm.

This figurine, smaller than a common matchbox, has quickly gained attention on social media for its role in Shelton's success. Shelton, who is currently in a public relationship with Rodman, has won his first quarter-final match at the US Open. Just two more opponents remain between him and his first Grand Slam title. As Rodman cheers from the stands, she hopes her good luck charm will continue to bring blessings to Shelton in his upcoming matches.
