Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe attracted the attention of tennis fans after a curious episode that happened during the United Cup. Frances Tiafoe pranked Taylor, trying to yank down his pants during the on-court interview. Fritz didn’t look too happy about that, saying: “Dude, I will knock you out.”
Soo after Frances tried to high-five Taylor, who appeared not interested in it, fuelling suspicions that he was upset with his teammate. However, it was Fritz to take all the social media, saying that he didn’t even notice Frances. All good.
Wait I didn’t even know 😂 sorry bro @FTiafoe https://t.co/JumdboNBI2
