American Star Frances Tiafoe Feels ‘Terrible’ After Making a Photographer Bleed at ATP Paris Masters 2022 -’This Is Crazy’

Frances Tiafoe is having a good time on the ATP Tour. His name touched the headlines a lot this year, and fans expect to see him execute some brilliant performances next year as well. However, for now, here’s a fun interaction the American tennis professional recently had.

The mistake Frances Tiafoe made in the Paris Masters

Even though he lost his semifinal seat to Felix Auger-Aliassime, Tiafoe seems to have accepted the defeat like a champion. He isn’t spiraling about the loss, but is cracking jokes. During his match against the Canadian, when he stepped out of the court to get some water and towels, he accidentally pushed the door of the fridge and it fell on one of the camerawoman. The camerawoman later posted the clip of the event and jokingly wrote, “Yesterday was not my best day at office. I was behind the fridge, and it hurt me…”

Thereafter, she added, “I know this is crazy! I didn’t see much of the game as I had stitches off-court. But I feel good today.” To this, Tiafoe, taking full responsibility, replied. “Sorry about this yesterday. I felt terrible about this after seeing you bleeding after I hit you with the fridge.”
