Frances Tiafoe was facing Tunisian Malek Jaziri at the Challenger de Charlottesville (semi-professional) in Virginia, and on YouTube you can see his unfortunate play.
In the footage, you can see how the American missed hitting the ball when he came to attack the net. Tiafoe's reaction is also very curious.

He couldn't believe it himself. He had the whole court at his disposal and Jaziri with his back turned, but he couldn't hit the ball. An incredible play that can be seen on YouTube. Fortunately for Tiafoe, he managed to win the match 7-6 and 6-4.
On YouTube, the American's play has thousands of views, and on social media he is mocked with jokes, as he is considered a promise of American tennis.
Frances Tiafoe himself posted the link to the YouTube video on his Twitter account. "I think I've won the award for miss of the year," he said.
