Woman Goes Viral After Hilariously Whipping Out Her Phone To Capture Shirtless U.S. Open Player

Audience members preserving the action at sporting events is nothing out of the ordinary.

After all, an exciting play is worth revisiting and sharing with others online to prove you were there in person to experience it.


But why is one woman who whipped out her smartphone to capture a moment at the US Open going viral?

It turns out she was either filming or taking snapshots of a hunky pro tennis player who was off the court and changing into a fresh shirt, right in front of her.

The match might have been paused, but as far as she was concerned, the male athlete was still serving love.

In the clip, the pro tennis player who was wearing a white headband and a sweaty white crew neck was seen in the foreground.

Behind him in the courtside seats were two women, one of whom casually took in the atmosphere until she did a double-take after noticing him taking off his shirt.

She quickly seized an opportunity to capture the quick change by reaching into the bag on her lap to pull out her phone for a thirst trap photo or video.

Many Twitter users related to the woman who was making her own instant replay clip.


Some of the comments, however, included criticism.

Some users asked if the reactions would have been the same if the genders were swapped with the tennis player being a woman.


Meanwhile, the back and forth took on a life of its own off the court.

While the sexism questions are points to ponder, the online debate surrounding an existing "double standard" regarding photos of shirtless players hasn't happened.

Female tennis players are not allowed to take off their shirts on the court–even with a sports bra on–while their male counterparts are able to do so.

Gavin Newsom Epically Shuts Down Suggestion That Kid Rock Should Be Doing Super Bowl Halftime Show

Earlier this week, the NFL announced that worldwide superstar Bad Bunny would be the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, causing right-wing heads to explode over the news.

After far-right provocateur Nick Adams suggested that the singer, a fierce critic of the Trump administration, should not have been chosen for the halftime gig, California Governor Gavin Newsom's press office took to X to mock him in the account's now familiar Trump-esque style.

David Cross slams Saudi gig

It was no laughing matter when dozens of comedians signed on to perform at Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival, which premiered last week and runs through October 9. Marketed as the “world’s largest comedy festival,” the event has been billed as a milestone for the kingdom’s entertainment industry.

Organized by Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, the festival is part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative to position the country as a hub for global cultural events. The lineup includes Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari, Pete Davidson, Andrew Schulz, Jo Koy, Bill Burr, Jessica Kirson, Jimmy Carr, and Louis C.K.—yes, the same Louis C.K. accused by multiple women of sexual harassment in 2017.
