A curious and funny celebration left by Ben Shelton and his partner, the female soccer player Trinity Rodman.

As expected, the tennis player was sweaty at the end of the match, and when he went to hug his girlfriend, he soaked her with sweat, and she had a funny reaction. While Shelton quickly provided a solution: "I'll bring you towels."
