The 2025 Wimbledon Championships has been filled with controversial moments, making it to the headlines. Be it the technological failures or the players lashing out at line calls, we have seen it all. Recently, another major controversy stirred up during the match between Ben Shelton and Lorenzo Sonego. While the American star confidently won over Sonego in four sets, his girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, came into the news after lashing out at commentator Andrew Castle for his offensive mistakes. Subsequently, Castle apologized to Rodman to settle things out.
During the match, Castle misspelled Rodman’s first name as “Tiffany”. Additionally, he also regularly mentioned Rodman’s father, Dennis Rodman, who she’s been estranged from for a while now. The gaffe wasn’t seen too kindly by Shelton’s girlfriend, and she made her feelings felt on social media. Sharing a note via her Instagram story, Rodman stressed that her name is Trinity “for those who don’t know” and then continued: “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 him and his loved ones’ moment. Thank you.”
Subsequently, BBC spokesperson issued a statement, saying, “Andrew apologises for mispronouncing Trinity Rodman’s name during the Ben Shelton vs. Lorenzo Sonego match.”
