A humorous series of events took place during the 3rd round match between Carlos Alcaraz and British player Dan Evans at the US Open 2023 during the high-stakes tennis action. Even while the competition was hot on the court, a spectator’s actions out of it stole the show.
Dan Evans noticed an unusual individual sitting in his player’s box but instead of getting furious, Evans chose to handle the issue with humor. Evans kindly requested the surprise guest to sit in the right seat, adding a touch of humor to the contest.
One of the fans reported this happening on Twitter.
Well that's a new one.
Dan Evans noticed someone in his box that wasn't supposed to be there and had him move back to the seat he was supposed to be in😂
