Pegula, Keys, and Tiafoe led Team USA to a 4-1 victory over Team Great Britain in the City Final in Sydney to make the semifinals of the inaugural United Cup.
In the press conference, Team USA fielded their four main players but Taylor Fritz, Pegula, and Keys were left waiting for Tiafoe. The United Cup posted a video in which the three players are seen laughing at the 2022 US Open semifinalist as he arrives late.
Pegula and Keys later commented on the video on their respective social media handles to share their reactions to the incident. Both players reposted the video, with Keys adding the caption “Lmao” and Pegula inserting five skull emojis.
“Obviously I’m always going to have fun out there, do my thing” - Frances Tiafoe
In his post-match press conference after their tie against Germany, Frances Tiafoe mentioned that he would always enjoy himself on the tennis court and play in his own way.
The 24-year-old also revealed that he always wanted to play alongside Jessica Pegula, but the World No. 3 turned him down numerous times.
The duo paired up for the first time to play against Germany’s Laura Siegmund and Daniel Altmeier 6-7(5), 6-4, 10-7 in the mixed doubles to give the USA a 5-0 clean sweep in the tie.
But Pegula joked that heading into the match, Frances Tiafoe was unaware of the scenario regarding reaching the City Finals.
Tiafoe hilariously accepted his mistake and stated that Pegula had been explaining the scenario to him for a long time.
