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.

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.

She also expressed her views on married life after the humorous exchange. “Married life is awesome,” she said with a bright smile on her face. John Slavik proposed to Shelby Rogers at her hometown tournament in Charleston last spring in December. They married soon after the dreamy proposal.
