Ben Shelton’s girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, slammed a troll who ridiculed her lingo after her statement on her back injury was recently released. The tennis player, on the other hand, is gearing up for his upcoming tournaments of the 2026 season.
Rodman has been suffering from a chronic back injury since 2021, and she recently took a four-month hiatus to focus on her recovery. After returning to the field in August, she highlighted that it would still need long-term management. Recently, the ESPN Originals shared her statements about the injury.
