\u201cI mean I would never suggest that a player was drinking a beer in the middle of a match but that\u2019s certainly what it looked like,\u201d Haber said, with players banned from drinking alcohol during a match.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never seen that,\u201d Davenport continued.<\/p>\n
Haber suggested it could be a non-alcoholic drink before moving on from the incident.<\/p>\n
Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the situation, with some excited by the idea of her drinking a beer mid-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmanda Anisimova just casually slugs Miller Lite, hits 74 unforced errors, and easily defeats Alexandra Eala,\u201d one X user wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what American tennis is ALL about!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter losing the first set, World No 10 Amanda Anisimova slugged a beer\u2026 then stormed all the way back for the win,\u201d another user claimed.<\/p>\n
However, others concluded it was more likely the two-time Grand Slam finalist was drinking an energy drink poured from a can into a cup.<\/p>\n
The Tennis Channel\u2019s coverage later confirmed this theory during its broadcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can confirm via one of our courtside camera operators that Anisimova asked for and was delivered a Red Bull,\u201d Haber said during the third set.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is the mystery bevvy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cCould be apple cider, Brett?\u201d she replied.
