NEW YORK (AP) — Ben Shelton will play for the U.S. Open title without girlfriend Trinity Rodman in the stands watching when he takes the court.
She’s busy with her own career, playing for the Washington Spirit of the NWSL on Sunday.
Rodman, a star for the U.S. women’s national team, was with the Spirit for their home game against Boston Legacy FC.
Rodman has been at multiple matches at the U.S. Open during Shelton’s run to his first major final, including his victory over defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals that ended at 3:33 a.m., the latest finish in U.S. Open history.
