Will Trinity Rodman attend men’s singles US Open final between Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev?
Shelton is aiming for his maiden US Open title
Ben Shelton will chase his maiden Grand Slam title against Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the US Open 2026 men’s singles final on Sunday, September 13, likely without his girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, in the stands.
Rodman, a professional footballer who plays for the USA women’s national team, has been in a long-term relationship with Shelton since 2025. The 24-year-old has often been seen in the stands supporting her boyfriend, including in the semi-final at Flushing Meadows.
However, Rodman is unlikely to be present at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York during this year’s US Open men’s singles final, which will take place at 2:00 PM ET (11:30 PM IST) on Sunday.
The timing poses a challenge for Rodman, who currently plays for the National Women’s Soccer League (NWLS) side Washington Spirit. Rodman’s club will play Boston Legacy FC at Audi Field in Washington, DC, on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET (10:30 PM IST).
