It is the third day of the tennis event and they saw an intriguing scene during the doubles match between Team Europe’s Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev and Team World’s Reilly Opelka and Denis Shapovalov.

Fans of the TD Garden in Boston started booing Zverev when he angrily threw his racquet. They didn’t like his gesture and were moreover, frustrated since their home boy, Opelka was losing the match.

One more possible reason for the crowd’s unfriendly behaviour towards Zverev is that he is a huge fan of American Football team, Miami Heats. As a result, Boston fans seemed pretty much hostile towards him.
