Felix Auger-Aliassime had a challenging Australian Open. After an unexpected defeat to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the second round, the lovable Canadian star was eliminated from the tournament early on Thursday morning.
The rowdy French and Lebanese spectators nearby caused an unusual change of courts during the nearly five-hour-long five-set marathon.
However, the 29th seed’s difficult worknight didn’t end there. As the cameras focused on him as he attempted to change his shirt in the middle of the game, Auger-Aliassime also experienced the embarrassment of a lengthy struggle with his outfit.
Fans laughed as Auger-Aliassime struggled with his shirt. One fan wrote: “Nearly had a panic attack watching this.”
Another fan commented: “Why do we all start walking around while trying to take something off?”
One weighed in: “When I was 6 years old and changing clothes without parents.”
Another fan wrote: “The struggle is real sometimes.”
