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

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.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was fact-checked after he tried to drum up support for President Donald Trump's Iran war by sharing a video of a U.S. service member reminding others in the military that they "swore an oath" to fight—but the video is not what it seems.

In the video he shared, the service member says "everybody wants my friggin' opinion on what's going on in the country right now," adding that "if you're a Marine, a service member of this country ... you've got one friggin' overall job and one overall mission to be combat ready."

An Older MAGA Voter's Rant About How Prices Are Going Up Due To Trump Is Getting Epically Skewered

Keith Pedersen, a senior Trump voter, went viral after sharing on Facebook his complaints about how prices for gas, groceries and other essentials are going up under President Trump—and has received some very unsympathetic responses.

In January, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.
