After Carlos Alcaraz uploaded a video of himself snapping shots of his picture hanging on the wall, Frances Tiafoe recently made fun of the Spaniard’s status as the Indian Wells Open defending champion.
The 20-year-old shared a short clip on his Instagram account on Friday in which he could be seen photographing the wall-hung images of the winners.
Alcaraz captioned the video: “Happy to be back.”
Tiafoe joked a few hours after the post was made, saying he couldn’t recall the exact moment the Spaniard took home the title. Alcaraz answered in a similarly humorous way, saying that he didn’t remember winning either, which is why he took the photo.
Tiafoe commented: “I don’t remember you winning, bro, @carlitosalcarazz.”
Alcaraz then replied: “@bigfoe1998 Hahahaha, me neither; that’s why I took a picture of that photo.”
