Taylor Fritz beat Nikoloz Basilashvili in the Australian Open 2023 and will be facing the Australian, Alexei Popyrin in the second round but was in the headlines due to the bizarre drawing he sketched after the game.

It was a hard-fought victory for the American as he won the game following a thrilling four-set fight but after the match, the current world number 9 had a very awkward moment as he ended up painting a di** on the camera.

However, the American star had zero intentions of drawing a di** and instead, he was trying to draw a lock as the victory was hard fought but locked under the belt, but a poor experience of painting just embarrassed him a bit.

Fritz said on Twitter: “For your information I was trying to draw a lock emoji…. I just forgot the very important fact that I suck at drawing.”

On January 19, Taylor Fritz will compete against Alexei Popyrin to advance to the third round. He will, however, be aiming much higher than this and expecting to remain in the front rows by achievements rather than by painting a dick on the camera.
