Tennis fans divided over Tiafoe's behaviour during Federer's final match

Tennis fans stand divided about Frances Tiafoe's behaviour in the final match of Roger Federer at this year's Laver Cup.

Immediately after the match, Tiafoe was bashed on social media by fans who were upset that Sock and he bested Federer and Nadal in the Swiss' final career match. His Instagram comments were also filled with hateful comments but since then, the commentary has become a bit more positive.

Still, it's not overwhelmingly in favour of either sentiment and we bring you some of the comments below. One fan wrote:

"This sucks so much, people harassing Tiafoe for not laying on the ground and dying instead of playing. Stupid, tonight was more about celebration than the result, Roger said it himself and I guarantee he won’t think about it tomorrow (or is even thinking about it now)."

Another added:

"While I’m a fan of Frances Tiafoe, I found it a bit weird that he tried to pelt both Roger and Rafa as hard as he could in the final moments of Roger’s career. He’s a professional and has the entire court open. Back-to-back points? I’m not sure Kyrgios would’ve even done that."

One more fan added:

"Nothing would have been more disrespectful to Federer — and to the Laver Cup in general — than Sock and Tiafoe taking it easy on him and NOT going all out to win. Anyone who thinks differently is an absolute idiot. Or doesn’t know how competition works. Or both."
