Ben Shelton's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, recently voiced her frustration during Wimbledon after commentators repeatedly mispronounced her name. They called her "Tiffany" instead of Trinity.

They also brought up her father, NBA icon Dennis Rodman, while she supported her boyfriend from the stands. In a pointed Instagram Story, she wrote:

"For those who don't know...my name is Trinity, not Tiffany. Also, for Ben's matches, he has his family there as his support system, which includes his dad, my dad's not even in MY life, no need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don't want him talked about during him. It's his and his loved one's moment. Thank you."

Rodman, who plays for the Washington Spirit and won Olympic gold, has a strained relationship with her father. She once said (via talkSPORT):

"He's not a dad… maybe by blood, but nothing else."

She emphasized that coverage should spotlight Shelton and his family, not her name or her father's legacy.

Shelton, now heading into his Wimbledon quarter-final against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner on Wednesday, is set to have Rodman and his family in attendance. This clash comes amid growing calls for broadcasters to respect personal boundaries.
