And when she was both misidentified as “Tiffany” by BBC commentator Andrew Castle, who also went on tangents about her father saying the eccentric Rodman was “one of the greatest sportsmen of all-time”, Trinity was far from happy. Photo by Hannah Peters/Getty Images

“For those who don’t know … my name is TRINITY, not Tiffany,” she wrote in an Instagram Story. “Also, for Ben’s matches, he has his family there as his support system, which includes his dad. My dad’s not even in MY life. No need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don’t even want him talked about during mine. It’s his and his loved ones’ moment. Thank you.” Photo by Hannah Peters/Getty Images

It’s been a star-studded affair at the All-England Club this year – but not everyone was so thrilled. Boxing champ Anthony Joshua sat with football great Gary Lineker. Lineker sat with the hulking boxer and said it was an uncomfortable day — physically at least. “I went to Wimbledon the other day,” he told the Rest Is Football podcast. “We sat next to Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn and we had a laugh watching some great tennis. I was sitting in the seats next to Anthony, and he’s obviously huge. His legs … and the only way he sits, because there wasn’t enough room, was he had his legs wide open. And I was forced, for like seven hours, whatever it was, to put my legs to the … it got to the stage where I was getting cramp in my inside thigh so badly. And the game was going on and I wanted to shout. But I never had the balls, at any point, to tell him, ‘Will you f***ing move your legs over a little bit, give me some room?’” Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty Images
