The context is that sometime back an image went viral of Taylor trying to teach his girlfriend how to play tennis. The influencer was not very good at it. She bounced the ball off the court several times, and the video made fans ship them even more. Although some fans made memes out of her failed attempts, the internet had an overall positive reaction to the video. Now, after the humiliating defeat at the United Cup, Zverev’s tennis skills are being compared to Morgan’s.
