"The crowd cheered so well for me, i wanted to make sure i'd won." 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 incredible! Legendary!
That's why I love him
Wickedly clever without compromising class.
Amazing. What a crappy crowd the French Open always has. It's a contest between them and the US Open as to who can behave like they're the main character the most.
I am French and I'm so ashamed to see a crowd reacting like that ! Taylor doesn't deserve it. What makes me even more angry is that Arthur does not have any reaction about the shameful audience...and he also said during the press conference that the atmosphere was great...When I hear that I understand why people say that we are arrogant..
Yeah Arthur is oblivious, it shows on his face.
Heureusement qu'on a des joueurs qui remontent le niveau, genre Benny Paire 😭😭😭
even funnier when fritz is a pretty shy and classy guy, that it was him shushing the crowd lol
They have been singing the National Anthem during French players matches and other very abnormal behavior.
All the commentators have been talking about how they’ve never done / heard that before. Not sure what’s going on over there.
You know Julie, these behaviors in France are the reason why I left France 13 years ago. Just couldn't take it anymore.
As a french I’m ashamed to see this, Taylor is a nice guy, he played well and deserve to win. Congrats to him and his team. As for my fellow countrymen stop crying and go to the court and be better at tennis, maybe one day we will win this thing again but for now we don’t deserve anything....
Respect you bro!
Merci pour ces mots
This is supposed to be the land of Voltaire and the land of enlightenment and great taste? What happened?
Agree
En tant que Français amoureux du tennis,tu as résumé avec brio ce que les vrais supporters Français pensent.
Bonne chance Taylor pour la suite
''the crowd cheered so well for me, i wanted to make sure i'd won." What a legend!!
If Novak did that u would shame him u rat
Legend?
A legend? Looks like a pretty mediocre player to most
@@nonymuouslegendary*
Perfect response I didn’t know Fritz had it in him 😂
Same! Love to see his personality come out!
At the on court interview he was about to start crying cause the crowd was booing him. If you are gonna shhhtt the crowd, you need to be ready to deal with it.
@@stefan-andreisava8264 bro where did he start crying
@@stefan-andreisava8264 Start crying? We must have watched much different videos..
you can tell from the way his voice breaks and facial expression changes at the end
As a french man, I consider Fritz a legend from now on! Well done buddy.
same here
I seem to be in the minority here but I think the crowd's reaction was great, as was Taylor's. Most tennis venues are staid and stale; the French Open is and should be different. Why not have a huge home advantage for the French players? The crowd kept it to verbal stuff, there was no throwing of junk or any feeling that they were violent. They weren't unpleasant to his girlfriend and team. It was just home field advantage, the same kind that you'll see in any American college town on football Saturdays. Taylor was a college player and he knows what that's like and can let it fire him up. I actually felt sorry more for the French player because I think the weight of expectations was too much. Congrats to both of them but especially Taylor.
You folk unlocked personality in my boy Fritz 😅
@Hill Wellford The issue is the poor sportsmanship, especially for a Grand Slam.Nothing wrong with a home advantage, there's nothing wrong with mostly cheering for your countryman. The issue is the constant booing when you do a mild celebration, the 10s cheering after missed first serves in important games (disrupting rhythm of play in addition to being disrespectful), singing the national anthem twice which completely broke Fritz's serving rhythm, etc...
It's terrible behavior, and it's sad to say that it's mostly seen at Roland Garros. The US Open also has a crowd mostly cheering for Americans, which is fine, you rarely see booing that isn't warranted, and extensive disrespect to the opposing player.
American crowd is the same.
He was unbelievable patient, what he did after the game was cool 👌🏻. Fans deserved that
Fans ? .. no, Morons..
Taylor Fritz doesn't deserve such a booing.He should be applauded for winning the game despite the home crowd rooting on his opponent.
He deserves the win and I appreciate his composure even if deep inside he wants to explode over the nasty crowd.
Keep winning Taylor...
I have never really warmed to Fritz previously. But I think he's a bloody legend now. Go Fritz!
Same. These crowds are getting worse and worse each year, especially the French crowd. Acting like hooligans.
@@Abhi-wh3ik Awful crowd
Thought Fritz was boring. I was wrong. What a boss
@@A_friendwithoutbenefits I thought so too but from watching Break Point I learnt he's a shy guy. He definitely wasn't shy here!
I wasn’t a massive fan of Fritz, but now I love the guy. Shushing the crowd like that - epic!
💯
All French players (Rinderknecht?? Not very French name😅) out in women and men’s side. Taylor Fritz, since US Open, rooting for him, as he is big fan of Iga 🎉🎉🎉
@@jukkao.parviainen8669 the name Rinderknech is German in origin but there are more Rinderknechs in France than any other country. This player was born in France.
@@jukkao.parviainen8669 While Fritz is a clear American name😂😂😂😂. The guy is an idiot. He will pay for this so badly...
@@joosiej85 Great, thanks for info. The question is, why French players choke in their own Slam? Because they have great players. Amélie Mauresmo won Australian Open and Wimbledon, but sadly not FO.
But it’s not so bad as in F1, the last Italian to win the World Championship with Ferrari is Alberto Ascari, in 1953.
I'm a proud French and I entirely empathize with Fritz. This crowd made me ashamed. Go Fritz!
I agree with you. I am Spanish and I witnessed something similar in the Madrid Open against Holger Rune in his match against Davidovitch. It wasn´t as nasty because Rune didn´t antagonize the crowd any further after they turned against him, but it could have been much worse if Rune had made any gesture the crowd might consider defiant.
I don´t like the way things are going in tennis. There is a very clear line between supporting a local player and harassing the opponent. Some people say the French crowd are bad, but in my view they are no worse than any other (Spanish crowd included, of course).
The French acting like petulant children, made complete fools of themselves, but I guess in their eyes they are cool lol.
Bravoooo Benoit!!!
Do you agree with retirement age Phrench buddy ?
this is so laughable for Djokovic. He has never reacted as Fritz did.
The guy is booed on RG since he steps on the court. ...and he takes that with decency.
No matter what happens in Fritz's career from here on out, I will FOREVER remember this match and moment right here. Amazing!
Amazing indeed! I’ll also remember how shitty of a crowd the French are
If anyone actually watched the match theyd know it was a completely fair response from Fritz. The crowd were trying to get in his head the whole match- it was terrible!
Including jeering, booing and shouting at his serves, and cheering anytime he made a mistake.
Absolutely terrible and he didn't deserve that. Trying to ruin his serve and shit. Fuck that
That would happen in any country with a hometown favourite, dummy.
@@arkine11 This is what happens if you invites pigs to the party :) :P - they don't have manners and don't know what to do and how to behave.
Unnecessary
the crowd was straight garbage
i understand that they were cheering for their guy but this was on another level
he kept his cool and didnt say anything during the match
i would did the same thing after winning match point
and then i would leave at the on court interview when they didnt let him speak
Oh no. He wanted to wait and have his opportunity to burn the crowd a bit. If he'd walked off they would have won. The way he did it he got the last word in.
Wouldn't be the first time, French are like that. Losing a tennis or football match hurts their pseudo-pride but they are fine with supporting their politicians bombing and killing people around the world.
I am French and I'm so ashamed to see a crowd like that. That's really stupid...Taylor doesn't deserve it at all...
The French crowd is like that ever since I can remember, no wonder every single player except for Nadal and Roger said they're the worst crowd ever, with US Open coming in at a really close second place.
It happends every hear at the us open. Let's see how the crowd react if any player try to shut them out...
Met Fritz and had my son take a picture with him at the US Open back when he was just starting. He was really nice and friendly.
Fritz truly gained my respect here. It takes guts to do that. The French crowd deserves it 1000000000000%. What a gigachad.
I was watching Garcia Vs Blinkova and the crowd were cheering her first serve faults, that is one of the worst things you can do in terms of tennis etiquette and it happened frequently.
The same happened in the Monfils/Baez game. The crowd behaved appallingly. Baez was a trooper and did not flinch. It was a shame that he lost, especially because Monfils then retired from the competition.
I'm a Monfils fan, but in that game, with the French crowd, I rooted for Baez.
Agreed. That said, it wasn’t just the French who did it. Wimbledon crowd cheered on every Djokovic’s mistake and fault at the 2019 final; the US crowd constantly interrupted jsut about everyone during points and often during the service motion of the server… AO is probably the best in the sense that they are just out there having fun and there’s usually a equally mix of support for each player (most of the time)… but yeah fans need to learn basic etiquette… people pay good money to watch the players play tennis, not for them to try and get involved of a tennis match by making noises and shouting and chanting
Right! this is football stadium cheering, not tennis cheering.
i'm not saying you have to keep quiet like at wimbledon, you can easily cheer the French home favourite, but it's disrespectful if you keep cheering when your opponent makes a mistake or talking when he serves.
(I'm not talking about this match but what often happens in French tournaments and at the Us Open, sometimes even in Rome)
There’s no etiquete in France
@@miguelpincos well I don’t quite believe that, especially as ‘etiquette’ is a french borrow word :).
The Paris crowd has been nasty during the years even with Nadal at first
Because we love Federer in France
@@papatango5085That's because he can speak French.
As Toni Nadal once said "There is only one set of supporters that is worse than the French and that is the Parisians"
Toni Nadal and Nadal were booed because of the toilet break and the MTO. they truly deserved it. Fritz didnt
@@desiremixx7622, Nadal was booed for doing nothing. In fact, he had to sue the French Minister of Sports for accusing him of dopping in a tv show with no proof at all, o.c.
Bravo Taylor pour ton match et ton attitude . You're great as always
Il a l'attitude d'un champion.
@@stefanodelstef7988 Maybe he'll get the skills too at some point.
Well done. The French crowd is the worst of all the grand slams. Totally disrespectful.
We are not all like that ;)
2:29 I love how they turn the volume up in case we weren't hearing it well enough
well deserved for the french crowd. congrats Fritz.
Nice performance from Fritz, on the court and during the interview too !! He stayed a while, hat's off ! The crowd didn't appreciate his kind of "shut up now, you see, I won !"...I hope everything will be ok for him for his next matches, because he is a great guy and he deserved this win !
Taylor's sarcasm to answer the question was the best response to throw in the face of those French hoons.
Have been following Fritz since he was a teenager, he is a classy guy but everyone has a limit, Go Fritz!!
Fantastic. I’ll watch this every time I feel down
He won fair & square. Loved his response. Respect him much more now.
What incredible poise, class and self-control! I've admired Taylor's athleticism and intelligence for a while, but the restraint he showed today elevates him to an exalted level - that of a sportsman and a mensch. Proud of you, Taylor, and disgusted by the RG mob in the stands. Now go win your next match!
I'm French and love Fritz reaction! So salty hahahah
Not salty. He would be salty if he had lost. He was gloating, which was fun to watch. I loved his speech lol
I would leave the court if i were him
@@Bambotb yeah, I thought he was just fed up and was gonna walk off during the interview. He held it together really well.
I guess your grandparents worked for the Gestapo. It's really in your genes betrayal. You are so cynical and masochistic that we can feel all your jubilation. No wonder you're hated everywhere.
you are not French you are an Anglo hooligan or a Yank.
I'm French and I'm now rooting for Fritz. Silence them more !
Il pas vraiment réduit la foule au silence si tu regardes bien les images... Il risque d'avoir les oreilles qui bourdonnent lors de son prochain match.
BS you are not French
Fritz is a straight badass… French crowd just made him into a legend😂
Massive respect for Fritz
Love it from Fritz. The crowd was disrespectful and he gave it right back to them.
I'm french and i'm very ashamed. Love you T. You're the man.
Brilliant.... I love Fritz even more now. What guts!
Haha! Marion the interviewer seemed so pissed off as well! I'm French, playing tennis on an amateur level, and I'm so ashamed of these reactions. Cheering and supporting an AH like Rinderknech during the match is ok (despite, to me, supporting someone just because you have the same nationality in an individual competition is an idiotic behaviour), but impeding the player's focus and booing Fritz after the match is just awful, and a total lack of respect toward the player. Nowadays, people think that just because they paid to see a match, they are allowed to do anything, and the players are just here to make it entertaining...
Nothing wrong with supporting someone for the same nationality
@@donvito7344 I agree but don't support by booing opponents.
@@benjaminpedersen9548 yea I definitly agree with you
why is it idiotic for cheering for an athlete of your nationality in individual competition?
don't they represent their country? So if it is doubles game, it is not idiotic anymore? :D
Bro, it's good to cheer for you countryman. Fritz should have never do the gesture of shutting the crowd down, that's very vain of him. What did he expect? It's RG for f*** sake.
"They cheered so well for me". Epic!
It's funny cuz he's usually so chill and "whatever bro"
I remember a joke that came out in an episode of the simpsons in which ned flanders is treated very badly by a french chef and then he says, "a disrespectful french man, who would have thought that?!" Now I really understand what the writers meant with that joke.😅
Accept what you get. Just play the game
The crowd was so good i had to make sure I won! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is it a quote from Meddy?
@@juliacella It's a quote from Fritz at the end of the interview!
@@hkizzle888 Did Fritz quote Medvedev though?
Whoever goes against the RG crowd is considered a friend.
EDIT: Imagine if this was Kyrgios.
Omg, please let that happen one day. Seeing Kyrgios take on this crowd would be a dream come true.
I'm NOW an official Taylor Fritz fan!!!
Love for Taylor Fritz. What a bunch of giant losers in the crowd. They deserve to see him win and win again. For Fritz I hope he can be reunited with his family soon, away from these sad people. Lastly, this disrespectful behavior should not be tolerated by RG if they want to be taken seriously as an organisation
They do this every year 😂 I remember them booing Andy Murray as he walked on the court just because he was playing Gasquet. The worst of the slam crowds by far.
They are not French, they are replacement populations that were imported through decades of post war immigration, they posses none of the French soul or manners that have traversed the ages. Sad to see my country desecrated to the core! They have imported their football attitude to tennis. It has been 5-10 years, and the culprits are our left-wing politicians WHO PRODUCE THE SAME KIND OF DESPICABLE SPECTACLE A THE FRENCH ASSEMBLY, having no respect for institutions, giving unfair, entitled, loud and obtrusive defiance as an example. An utter digrace!! Shame on them!!!
the French crowd has ALWAYS been like this. Is it any wonder the Parisian population have their reputation around the world as stuck on themselves self absorbed snobs and a-holes....
Giant losers? No... Just French
@@ethanniquet8681 totally agree
FRITZ was brave and patient : BRAVOOOOO
Yessss! Loved and here for it! Someone should’ve done it sooner!!
Fritz, i love you man. You show true sportmenship. This is beyond sport. You come to Paris to compete. Even when you are not treat well. Like i said, i love you what you do for tennis.
You don’t boo the winner. That’s bull. Come on. This is a sport and the better man won. This isn’t a national war, people. This is a damn sport. Give the man some respect.
I think many of us respect him after that!
probably u don't know much about french people at roland garros :d
@@yagzataberk1871 there seem to be a lot of French people posting who condemn this type of behavior. When you really think about it, it makes no sense to boo the winner. Fritz is just doing his job. He want to win to make money and gain ranking points. Like every other tennis player. So booing him for doing his job basically is imbecilic.
Just like the US crowd and Serena did for Osaka? Gotcha
@@russdy1982 that was a bit different. They were booing over a call not booing Osaka. And then Serena told them to stop.
I attended a Rublev vs Moutet match and the atmosphere was so tough for non-french player. Im not surprised it provoked Fritz to do this
And yet Rublev had more dignity after all. One would expect a hotheaded would loose it, not someone who looks a bit asleep all the time.
@@Juliadicaya There is dignity in equal measures in both behaviors. One simply decided to show his resentment openly while the other didn't
brave to do what!??!!! His actions are natural. Fritz is amazing and the crowd should show some respect and appreciation. Way to go Taylor 😊
Commentator was saying like, Fritz will need to apologize later?? WTF...Shameless crowd would need to apologize, not Fritz. But I dont think they have brain capacity for that
I was there, and the crowd were truly disgraceful. The booing started when Fritz looked at a mark on a close line call, and he became the pantomime villain thereafter. I saw well-dressed people booing and hissing like children at anything Fritz did. He held his nerve under extraordinary pressure and even upped his game. I wasn't a fan of his especially before this match (I'd seen Rinderknech play before and actually fancied an upset here) but I came away very impressed by Fritz's level and his nerve.
EPIC moment give us Fritz LOL The best until now in the tournament!
Go Fritz! Piss them off harder! Such unruly crowd deserves nothing better. I thought the crowd in Rome Masters was crazy. This is another level.
The French got their revenge today after Fritz was disciplined in 4 sets by Ceŕundolo.
Fritz actually made it much worse for himself at the end by telling the crowd to shhh and saying “ I wanna hear it “ .
although i'm not a Fritz fan, i really hope he wins RG one day, although that is quite not going to happen, just to really shut the f. up all the nasty french booers
honestly the FO crowd are the worst 🤣
Wimbledon tops them anytime.
Ao sometimes is brutal
@@cristianconstantinescu7264 No not at all they are too civilised to behave like this
@@DamiiStyleao is the best, then uso, then french, then wimby
By far
Oh, dear Taylor, great man, such a character!!! Remaining calm and friendly!
Taylor, you have won a new fan in me !!! Let’s go !!! I loved this !
Fritz was always one of my fav players but this has definitely moved him up a few spots
Fritz shouldnt fear RG crowd. Go Fritz!!!
I love the cynical comment from Fritz 😂
I wasn't a fan of Fritz until now...but he became one of my favourite tbh. As a french I love the way he answered to this awful crowd...I hope he'll go far in this FO...LFG Taylor 💪💪
Great speech by Taylor...funny and sarcastic and dry at the same time..Love it.thats the way to get back at an unruly rude crowd..by killing them with compliments lol
I was there at the S Lenglen stadium. Fritz kept his calm throughout the match despite barbaric crowd cheered on his mistakes and disturbed him between 1. and 2. serve. He gave the crowd what it deserved. Shush 🤫 and knocked the last frog 🐸 out. 40 years of drought and counting…
Let’s go Fritz! Loved every second of it!
Well done Fritz! I'm so proud of you! Play on!!! Hope now you win the title! 🙏🏾😊💚
I found myself cheering with the crowd during Gael Monfil's comeback from being down 0-4 in the 5th set earlier in the tournament but in that match they were just cheering for Monfil's winners. In this match they are trying to disrupt Taylor's play - totally crossing the line, inexcusable behavior
come on fritz you can win this for humanity
he should just have left when they did not let him speak
yes but his response was gold!
No please ! He was thinking of what masterclass he would say
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. He was well within his rights there to walk off without doing the interview and not get fined. Why should he have to stand there and be abused in order to not get fined
@@spongybone4071 The crowd wanted him to leave. He's a legend now for standing there and waiting. And of course for what he said 👍
I was rooting for Novak but now I hope Taylor wins the whole thing. Worst crowd ever.
I wish Novak would have had the chance to play a French player, so he would show the crowd how to behave. And steam-roll the French player in the process.
Like the serbian crowd does not exactly the same when a serbian plays a foreigner 😂
@@macaque791 No, they do not mate.
They cheer like crazy, but never booe like this.
Everyone hates the french for a reason ya know
@@pistolpetetc never boo ? No way you are serious
@@macaque791 Now I didn't say this did I?
They never booe foreign players like THIS.
We are a VERY hospitable people, as opposed to the french.
The french suck.
You go taylor, this is not the first time that the crowd has done this great win.
Respect to him...these people are insane!
Rinderknech going on court after was cringe. He lost 😂
No, it was cool, the heart shape he wanted to say thank you to the horde
Exactly. He stole the moment from Fritz. Ugh!
You can be thankfull for the cheering and the athmosphere of the crowd, even if you lost....
Especially if you are a borderline top 100 player and don't usually play in such a big stadium with that much crowd support
He was thanking the crowd for supporting him
@@danicadabic9789 Fritz won the match. Period. Too bad for the woke crowd.
My Taylor is rich 😊 As a French I just can say that now Fritz is one of my favorite tennis players 😍
Fritz my new hero!!! And I’m French 😂
What a great answer Tyler, turn that nasty energy into fire and going on win that match, so impressive. Keep going Tyler 💪 all the way.
I feel sorry for Taylor. He's doing great and perhaps from here on out he just lets his playing speak for itself.
Who does fritz play next?? Never seen this kind of booing for that long,🤣
His sarcastic response makes my day. 😂😂😂
Superb Taylor son, absolutely superb. This sport needs more of that
Starting to hate the French crowd
They’ve always been the worst crowd
Horrible nation
Its the same everywhere, have you ever seen the serbian crowd when djoko plays a foreigner ?
@@macaque791 Nah, the French get butthurt to a whole new level.
@@Rosario_Verano let's pretend nationalism only exist in France
Starting to? They have always been this horrible.
Shhhhhhhhhh
Nicely handled from Fritz. The crowd actually helped him to win with their cheering. That`s how it`s done.
Frenchy here. Taylor was clever. The crowd was not. 🇺🇸🇫🇷💪
C'est un champion. La différence entre spectateurs et acteurs. 😅
All that was missing was a line out of the gladiator - "Are you not entertained?"
😂😂😂
I cannot wait to see Frits play at Shushing Meadows 🇺🇲
Fritz should be like this more often. Sometimes I think he is so boring but seeing him shush the crowd is so funny. Good for him.
I am now a fan of Taylor. I love the feistiness.
and thats how you do it with style daniil
The crowd is free to support their player obviously, however just don't hinder the other player. Fritz's actions were definitely justified here. Nice job Fritz, keep going.
Great effort Taylor, that's exactly the way to silence the crowd.
Fritz the great !!! 🎉🎉🎉
Normaly i dont support american athletes but fritz is a king right here! The croud was so great 😂
Seems to be you are a racist.
Awesome.
Legend.
Tennis is such a competetive game, exhausting,thrilling, being emotionally on the edge. Taylors reaction might not be the reaction of a gentleman, but I can feel it and probably would have acted the same way. Disrespectful as hell, when the matchball was done, he errupted emotionally and let the pressure out. What an audience... Thumbs up for Taylor!
Disrespectful French crowd Vs bravery
Fritz was 8th ranking and the french 78th, there is no bravery from Fritz
@@bayard1524 bravery to shut this shitty country yes 😂😂
@@bayard1524 his bravery is not in his ranking. It’s in his attitude towards that hysterical crowd.
@@bayard1524 The French people must not have known how shitty their countryman is at tennis in that case.
@@Vatan1871 best crowd ever
As a Frenchman, I can say that the French Roland Garros crowd is one of the worst in the world. At the end I was glad to see Fritz win.
Player is wrong for shushing crowd during and after match, crowd is even more wrong for continuous booing.
I remember when Alcaraz played against Gaston the crowd was so nasty to him and he had at the time only 17 that he finished crying.
Well done!
