Ben Shelton’s Wimbledon Win: BBC Issues Apology to Girlfriend Trinity Rodman After On-Air Blunder

Trinity Rodman, aged 23, expressed her thoughts regarding the televised commentary during her boyfriend Ben Shelton's Wimbledon match. On July 7, she attended the iconic All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, rooting for Shelton as he faced Lorenzo Sonego from Italy in the fourth round. Shelton triumphed over Sonego in four sets, marking a 3-0 record against him in Grand Slam play as he advances to the quarterfinals to challenge Jannik Sinner on July 9.However, the match's commentary focused on Rodman's estranged father, former NBA star Dennis Rodman, which she found inappropriate. BBC commentator Andrew Castle highlighted her relation to Dennis, labeling him one of the sports greats. After misnaming her as "Tiffany," Trinity clarified her identity on Instagram, stating her father should not be linked to Shelton’s achievements. Fans echoed her sentiment, emphasizing her own accomplishments in soccer. Following the backlash, BBC Sport issued an apology for the error. Trinity's strained relationship with her father has been publicly acknowledged before, showcasing her desire for independence.
