French Open 2023: Taylor Fritz 'shushes' crowd, booed during interview after beating Arthur Rinderknech

Taylor Fritz drew the ire of the French Open crowd after ‘shushing’ the boisterous night-time crowd following his victory over home favourite Arthur Rinderknech 2-6 6-4 6-3 6-4. The American allowed his emotions to get the better of him at the conclusion of the match by placing his finger to his lips to the crowd.

Fritz needed two hours and 50 minutes to seal his 31st tour-level win of the season and will meet Argentine Francisco Cerundolo in the next round.
