U.S. Open Fan's Awkward Moment In The Stands Goes Viral—And The Internet Is LOLing Hard

Man with drinks at US Open

A fan in the stands of the U.S. Open was captured on television bringing a drink to the woman sitting next to him, only to have another guy behind him hand her a drink first.

You know the old saying: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. But sometimes you miss 100% of the ones you DO take, if one particular US Open attendee is any indication.

A spectator at the annual tennis competition in New York City has gone wildly viral after seemingly taking a stab at love with his seatmate and getting subtly but brutally rebuffed—or at least beaten to the punch.


In the clip, the man is seen carrying two cocktails back to his seat at the recent match between Francis Tiafoe and Aleksandar Kovacevic.

When he gets there, it becomes clear that one of the cocktails was an attempt at striking up a conversation with the woman seated beside him.

The problem is, a man behind him appeared to have the exact same plan.

The two men can be seen arriving at their seats simultaneously, with the man in the row behind getting there just a moment sooner—just in time to hand his extra cocktail to the beautiful blonde woman first.

The man's face instantly registers disappointment and embarrassment with a subtle glance at his now superfluous cocktail. Even the woman sitting on the other side of him seems to register that he just got shot down and shot down hard.

As the US Open itself put it in an X post featuring the clip, "this is cinema." Who among us hasn't been there?

The clip quickly went viral on X because of how relatable it is, and many posted to give the man a bit of sympathy.











Guess this is one tennis match that did not end in a score of "love all." Better luck next time, sir, and keep the dream alive.

According to reports from last week, Hill was spotted drifting in and out of a Hollywood hotel before wandering the streets in nothing but underwear and cowboy boots.
