Once again, Trinity Rodman has proven to be American tennis player Ben Shelton’s good luck charm.
Shelton bested his compatriot Taylor Fritz in the BOSS Open Stuttgart final on Sunday in three sets.
Rodman wins girlfriend of the year for flying 24 hours from Brazil after playing a USWNT soccer game and arriving for his semifinal.

Not the first time Rodman came to the rescue
Rodman was on site at the Dallas Open when Shelton won the title.
Two professional athletes at the peak of their respective sports could prove problematic in some relationships, but it seems as though Shelton and Rodman thrive.
They are a great support system for one another, and both have a sense of humor. While Rodman is not a tennis player, we love that she gets on social media and tries to learn and understand the sport, asking valuable questions all of us want to know.

One of our favorite moments was when Rodman snuck into the pressroom and asked Shelton a question at the US Open last year.
The next question is whether Shelton can win Wimbledon. He has the grass court chops and the big serve so anything is possible.
An alternative question is what can fans expect from Taylor Fritz this summer. He is presumably healthy after spending a lot of time off tour this spring recovering from an injury, but he lacks match play.
