Ben Shelton’s girlfriend Trinity Rodman blasts BBC for Wimbledon coverage including mentioning estranged father

Ben Shelton’s girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, has criticised the BBC for their coverage during Wimbledon 2025. Shelton cemented his spot in the quarterfinals of the third Grand Slam of the year after beating Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego with a score of 3-6, 6-1, 7-6, 7-5.

It will be the first time that Shelton will feature in the last eight of the mega-event. Trinity, who was in the stands to support her boyfriend, took to social media to criticise BBC for their coverage. Trinity was clearly unhappy with BBC’s commentators who could not pronounce her name correctly. She was also not happy that her father was mentioned during the conversation on air.

"For those who don't know… my name is TRINITY, not Tiffany," she wrote in a story on her official Instagram account. "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 even want him talked about during mine. It's his and his loved ones' moment. Thank you."

Shelton, on the other hand, was clearly ecstatic about his win over Sonego and expressed his feelings to the media after the match. “Before the last game, I was thinking ‘I don’t want to play another tiebreak’, especially against a guy serving the way he is,” said Shelton. “I’m getting very comfortable out here on No.1 Court,” he said. “I was told before I came over here for the first time that the crowds here at Wimbledon were a bit quieter than the other Slams but I didn’t feel that today.” Shelton will next face world number one Jannik Sinner. The 23-year-old cemented his spot in the last-eight after his opponent, Grigor Dimitrov, was forced to retire from the last-16 contest despite winning the first two sets.
