The genuine charm with which Shelby Rogers approaches off-court encounters beautifully contrasts her incredible abilities on the court. But today, when asked about her feelings after the match, she found herself hilariously struggling with her new role as a married woman. The scenario surfaced during a post-match interview that followed Rogers’ stunning victory—her first since getting married to her longtime beau, John Slavik. While the couple may have tied the knot now, Rogers is still in disbelief!

In the first round of the ongoing Miami Open, Shelby Rogers upset Czech player Linda Fruhvirtova, ending her nearly 11-month wait to win a match. After the match, Rogers found herself in a lighthearted situation as the interviewer dug into the emotional significance of succeeding as a married woman.

However, Rogers found herself playfully struggling to navigate around this new title of husband, which made for a hilarious moment off-court. “It’s so crazy to say that. Oh my Gosh. And I am still struggling to call him my husband. It’s like I gotta get used to that. But it is so fun. We learned a lot,” Rogers said in a post-match interview at the Miami Open.
