Emma Raducanu’s Australian Open Opponent Passes a Cheeky Comment About Her Intimate Wedding – ‘Don’t Care What Color They Are..’

Shelby Rogers is supposed to be playing against 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu in the first round of the Australian Open 2024. But before taking up the racket, the American also got married. Rogers tied the knot with a former college hockey player named John Slavic after meeting him in 2020.

In a recent interview, she talked about what her role was in the preparation of the wedding. Rogers has also been dealing with injuries and rehab, and she admitted preparing for a wedding was certainly easier!

‘Good food and good music, fun people’ – What Rogers wanted in her wedding

In a recent pre-tournament press conference at the Australian Open, Shelby Rogers was asked about how her wedding plans went and how difficult it was for her to manage it all, especially the event preparations. To which she responded that she hardly participated in it and rest was well taken care of.

Rogers said, “That’s a great question (laughter). I will say I quite enjoyed the planning of the wedding because I wasn’t one that was really super caring about the details. I wanted good food and good music, fun people there. That was really it. The rest I’m like the napkins are going in the trash, I don’t care what color they are (laughter).”

It surely seems that she did not care much about what was going on given that everyone enjoyed themselves. Of course, her wedding pictures on social media show that it was beyond perfect. Before her big day, Rogers called the day she got engaged the most perfect one of her life.

Shelby Rogers and John Slavik reportedly met on a blind date that mutual friends set up for them. The journey from that date to the wedding, three years later, is a sweet one as the couple got engaged in 2023 ahead of the WTA tournament in Charleston.

“He did an amazing job. Everybody was in on it except me,” Rogers told Tennis.com. “There were a couple of slip-ups right before and I was like, hang on, this isn’t the way to dinner, but I haven’t been able to stop smiling the whole time.”
