Daily Dose of Social Media: Frances Tiafoe gets roasted by Madison Keys and Alexander Zverev after ‘Day in Life’ video

In a new "Daily Dose of Social Media," we review some of the most notable moments from the ATP and WTA Tours that have made waves on social media amid the start of the North American hardcourt swing. Serena Williams shared a couple of videos on her social platforms amidst online whispers of a potential comeback.

Meanwhile, Frances Tiafoe posted a "Day in the Life" video showcasing his daily routine, though it drew playful teasing from his colleagues – including Alexander Zverev and Madison Keys – regarding a supposed fabrication in the video.

Frances Tiafoe shared a "Day in My Life" video during the DC Open, showcasing moments from his pre-tournament training day for the ATP 500 event. The video features "Big Foe" greeting some important figures in the tennis world, such as four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and former world No. 1 Andre Agassi (current coach of Holger Rune).

The American participated in both training and promotional activities, alongside other notable figures like Venus Williams and John McEnroe. The video also drew comments from some of his fellow players. The 2025 Australian Open champion, Madison Keys, playfully quipped, "0% chance you were awake at 7:15 am," a sentiment echoed by three-time Grand Slam finalist Alexander Zverev: "Bro you don’t wake up at 7:15 am. You go to bed at 7:15 . Stop lying 😂😂😂😂." Meanwhile, Chris Eubanks added: "7:15 wake up? And brushing your teeth in the match shirt?!?! Come on now 🤦🏾‍♂️"

Naomi Osaka received a special gift at the DC Open: her first "Labubu," a collectible plush doll that has recently become a social media trend. The Japanese star showed off the gift from the tournament organization in a WTA video and shared her impressions: "This is so exciting," she said. "Oh, it's giving peaches. OK, I have Mr. Peaches."

The former world No. 1 made a notable debut with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over Yulia Putintseva, advancing to the Round of 16 and securing her re-entry into the top 50. Osaka's win guarantees a highly anticipated encounter against Britain's Emma Raducanu, marking their first-ever meeting on Tour, and on North American hard courts—precisely where both have previously lifted the US Open trophy.

Lorenzo Musetti shared a series of photos with his son Ludovic (born in March 2024) during his time at Wimbledon. The Italian—who recently announced he is expecting his second child—did not have a good run at the All England Club, where he fell in the first round to Nikoloz Basilashvili.

The world No. 9 had a remarkable clay-court swing between April and June, but the change of surface brought him physical problems, and an injury forced him to miss the tournaments prior to Wimbledon. Once play began at SW19, he suffered a first-round exit, losing a significant amount of points as he was defending semifinal points from 2024. This time, he traveled to the DC Open but faced more bad news, losing in the first round to Cameron Norrie. Musetti's next goal will be the Canadian Open, where he aims to regain confidence on hardcourts.

Serena Williams shared a video showcasing her basketball skills and how she maintains her coordination at 43 years old. The former world No. 1 has been at the center of speculation this week regarding a potential return, with rumors surfacing after several videos of her training on the tennis court, appearing to be in good form.

Over the past few days, the return of her older sister, Venus Williams, to the courts has reignited the conversation. 45-year-old Venus secured a first-round victory over world No. 35 Peyton Stearns in straight sets, demonstrating that even at her age, she still has the level to compete at the top. Venus Williams commented in a press conference that she sees her sister in great physical shape and would be happy to see her back on Tour.

"Mini hoops, major flop 😬 Thank goodness I picked up a racket instead of a basketball… Pops really understood the assignment," posted the 23-time Grand Slam champion.
