“He owned that mf,” Taylor Fritz’ cold message to Stefanos Tsitsipas after Monte Carlo victory has support of fans

In the world of tennis, social media can be a powerful tool for players and fans alike. It allows for instant communication and the sharing of updates and opinions on matches, players, and tournaments. However, it can also be a platform for subtle jabs and indirect shots, as was the case with Taylor Fritz‘s recent victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Monte Carlo Masters 2023.

It all started with a tweet by @josemorgado, a tennis journalist and commentator, who posted a photo of Tsitsipas after his win over Nicolás Jarry in the round of 16. Stefanos wrote, “Clay court in the US is like a unicorn on a skateboard,” referring to the scarcity of clay courts in the United States compared to other countries.

However, it wasn’t until Fritz’s quarterfinal match against Tsitsipas that the tweet took on a new meaning. Fritz, an American player, defeated Tsitsipas in straight sets, with a score of 6-2, 6-4. After the match, Fritz took a shot at Tsitsipas and his previous tweet, as he looked into the camera and wrote, “USA clay??“

The comment was clearly a reference to Stefanos’s previous act in the court and it was a subtle but effective way for Fritz to take a dig at his opponent. While he didn’t directly mention Tsitsipas, the message was clear. While it can be entertaining for fans, it’s important to remember that these comments can also create unnecessary drama and tension among players. In the case of Fritz and Tsitsipas, the comment was relatively harmless, but it’s not hard to imagine how it could have escalated into something more contentious.
