US Open fan goes viral for awkward moment with woman during match: 'Pain'
A U.S. Open fan’s awkward interaction in the stands during a match between Frances Tiafoe and Aleksandar Kovacevic went viral on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning.
The cameras at Louis Armstrong Stadium had a break in the action when Tiafoe went up 30-0 on Kovacevic in the second set with the two competitors tied 1-1. The broadcast then showed a man returning to his seat with two Honey Deuce drinks – the signature cocktail of the U.S. Open. One of them was presumably for the woman sitting next to him.

However, a man sitting behind him handed the same woman a cocktail – perhaps thwarting the man’s attempt to woo another bystander.
The moment quickly became a viral moment with sports fans talking about it on X.
Tiafoe won the match 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5.
The U.S. Open is one of the more interesting places where super viral moments have occurred recently.
