Frances Tiafoe is one of the most exciting tennis players in the world, but sometimes tennis fans and pundits are not very happy when he does not follow the etiquette. Tennis legend Adriano Panatta was extremely displeased when he saw Tiafoe wearing headphones during the American national anthem.

The 1976 Roland Garros champion said: “He is rude. If I were his captain, I would kick him in the butt.”
