Thanksgiving Day is generally a happy occasion for most people, but that wasn’t the case for the US Davis Cup team. The American Davis Cup team did not include Rajeev Ram. Ram didn’t hold back when he shared his disappointment in the U.S. team via a sarcastic tweet.

A few months back, he had teamed up with Sock in a 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 victory over Great Britain’s Andy Murray and Salisbury. The win helped the USA to advance to the quarterfinals. Other players and fans were quick to mock Taylor Fritz for the team’s loss. In retaliation, Fritz tweeted,” I mean… one thing I gotta say is I’m shy in person and have pretty bad social anxiety…”

The Olympic silver medalist, Ram is 38 years old and may not have many opportunities to compete in the Davis Cup before he retires. However, the decision to opt him out proved deadly for the USA team. Fans & other players didn’t hold back their thoughts and Fritz was heavily disappointed to be caught up in the controversy. He shared,” ..so I don’t think that’s fair for you to assume anything about my ego ..”

Fritz also clarified,” and if ur gonna take shots at me and my team’s character I feel like I do deserve some explanation.”
