During a tense second-round match, Fritz did the unthinkable: he shushed the crowd. Gasp! Was it after a bad call? A rowdy fan? Nope—it was after he hit a winner.
A cheeky finger to the lips sent social media into a frenzy. “Disrespectful!” cried one armchair umpire. “Iconic,” said a fan who clearly watches Kyrgios matches on repeat.
Fritz later clarified: “I was just messing around.” But the headlines had already taken hold: “Taylor Fritz Turns Heel.” Expect WWE contracts and villain arcs any day now.
