Jenson Brooksby and Frances Tiafoe are probably not best friends. Jenson defeated Frances rather comfortably in the Atlanta semifinal after conceding just 5 games (6-1 6-4). Nevertheless, soon after conquering the match, he celebrated with James LeBron’s Silencer. That is also the celebration often adopted by Tiafoe and it was clear that Brooksby was making fun of him. There was no surprise that the handshake was not warm.
Tennis TV posted Jenson’s celebration and Reilly Opelka commented (or “trolled”?) saying: “Rare no hug.”
