The 2025 Wimbledon Championships has started on a disastrous footing for American tennis players. Stars like Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff have already bowed out of the tournament. As if this wasn’t enough, there is some bad news on the men’s side as well for the American tennis fans. Frances Tiafoe is currently playing in his men’s singles second-round match against Cameron Norrie. Despite making a positive start and winning the first set, Tiafoe lost the following two sets amid a shocking display on Court 1. To add to this, his unsportsmanlike behavior got him into trouble during the match. This didn’t go down well with the fans, who called out Tiafoe for his display against Norrie.
Tiafoe committed several unforced errors and gifted the two sets on Norrie’s plate despite the momentum being on his side. With such an inconsistent display and not playing in the right spirit, one of the fans lashed out at him, saying, “Tiafoe running down the shot clock every point. Umpire doing nothing.” The fan was disappointed to see such amazing talent go to waste at a platform like Wimbledon.

Similarly, another fan called out Tiafoe’s act and urged the umpire to take strict action. “Absolutely disgraceful. Tiafoe v Norrie. Should not be allowed,” the fan said, as he was tired of watching the time-wasting tactics by Tiafoe.
Further, another fan recollected Tiafoe’s match against Fritz at the 2024 US Open. In their semifinal encounter, Tiafoe was leading two sets to one before losing the momentum and going down in five sets. “Frances Tiafoe blew it at the 2024 US Open against Taylor Fritz, his one golden opportunity. He will never ever ever win a major,” the fan wrote, making a massive prediction about the American star as he is set to hit rock bottom at Wimbledon.
