Just hours after announcing she's stepping away due to a recurrence of a back injury, Trinity Rodman was spotted in the stands at the BMW Open supporting her boyfriend, tennis star Ben Shelton.
Second-seeded Shelton defeated Francisco Cerundolo in three sets in Munich on Saturday, setting up a final date against top-seeded Alexander Zverev on Sunday.
Rodman is set to visit a Washington Spirit team doctor in London to examine her back, allowing her the chance to make the trip to Germany to see Shelton in action.
Shelton and Rodman officially launched their relationship last month with a post on social media. Shelton, 22, is currently ranked 15th in the ATP standings and has reached the semifinals of two major championships, including the 2025 Australian Open.
On Saturday, the Spirit announced that Rodman is "taking time away from team activities to manage her back." The team didn't provide a timeline for her return, only saying: 'We look forward to her returning when she's healthy.'
The 22-year-old has battled a back injury throughout her career, with the issue flaring up in the wake of last summer's Olympics.
Recently, Rodman said she's come to accept that the issue "will never be 100%."
