After the match, Zverev got on the mic and began cracking jokes about Shelton’s girlfriend, soccer star Trinity Rodman, who was in attendance. Fans online believed Zverev was flirting with Rodman after beating Shelton.
“Trinity, I thought you had a game today, no? Well done to you as well. You’re the lucky charm. Not today, but usually”
Nothing cooler than going out of your way to hit on your opponents girlfriend right after you whack him in 4 sets to win a major title. Peak alpha behavior. pic.twitter.com/3Aklh7ZPgl

If I just lost the most important tennis match of my life and my girl is laughing at the dude who beat me jokes right after lmao I’d be sick https://t.co/PfNbm1t47X
