US Open: Tennis Fan Becomes Instant Meme After Woman Snubs His Drink Offer

• A tennis fan at the US Open has elicited reactions online after a video of him offering someone a drink went viral
• The fan was in attendance at Frances Tiafoe's game against Aleksandar Kovacevic at the Billie Jean King Centre
• It is not known if he knew the woman beforehand, even as social media users continue to sympathise with him

A tennis fan at the ongoing US Open has gone viral after a woman appeared to snub his drink offer on 26 August brutally.

I don't know about you, but it goes without saying that talking to a woman requires two to tango—and you can't blame a guy for trying. Something must kill a man.

Man becomes meme at US Open

We do not have the full context, but the video posted by the US Open's X admin—who, by the way, deserves a raise — gives us a lot to go on.

"Reality": Young student opens up about varsity struggles, gives advice to peers

The fan returned to a seat we can only assume was his—two drinks in hand. He smiled at a lady on his left and appeared to offer her a drink.

But rather hilariously or painfully - depending on how you choose to see it - another man in the back row handed the lady a drink, leaving our guy dazed. Quite literally.

Reactions to the video:

Here are some of the responses from social media users.

@InfoTenisBR:

"There is no way this is not a Seinfeld scene."

@mikeholden:

"Where can I binge the rest of Season One?"

@bakktofuture:

"Next-level friend zoning."

@CineSeriesCSTV:

"This is how you create a villain."

@adimeglioxyz:

"This clip could actually inspire an entire rom-com."

The six-second clip ends with the fan confused at what just happened. We cannot confirm if he knew the lady beforehand or if he was just trying out his luck because, as we said - something must kill a man.

And if it was the former, it's even worse, no? All this while, a second lady on his right appeared to say, 'You should have given me the drink instead.'

Reactions to the fan getting snubbed

His pain was felt by fellow men who know too well the pain of getting snubbed.

@ChrisBozozwski:

"See you at the gym, brother.."

@Bairdric:

"If you look closely, you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two.”

@Luca:

"Bro is gonna begin his journey of self-discovery and personal growth after this one"

Our poor guy didn't bank on being a meme for offering a drink to someone else. He probably just wanted to sit, enjoy his tennis game, drop a couple of cheesy lines, hand her a drink and hope that does the trick.

Life, my guy.

Tiafoe beats Kovacevic

We can't tell if he concentrated on the game after that. Still, American Frances Tiafoe beat compatriot Aleksandar Kovacevic in sets of 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, and 7-5 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
