After overcoming the Frenchman at the French Open, the eighth-ranked tennis player in the world was jeered for several minutes. But he refused to succumb to boredom and responded to the audience with a witty answer. While the entire crowd was boiling over, he shushed them by putting his finger on his lips. But what frustrated Riddle was the vile attitude of the crowd towards her boyfriend.

The American tennis player’s girlfriend recently took to Instagram to provide a little insight into her opinions. When a fan requested her opinion on the crowd’s behavior, she said, “It was pretty shocking, to be honest. We knew it would be bad but never thought it would be that bad. But I think Taylor handled it exceptionally well & ultimately gave the crowd what they had been giving him for 3 hours.”
