Madison Keys‘ The fiancé found himself in hot water… because ESPN jumped on him at the wrong time – and, they grabbed his fingertips and shoved them deep into his nostrils.
The American tennis star takes on the Italian in the third set of their round of 16 match Jasmine Paolini Sunday, as the ESPN broadcast flashed to her coach and fiancé. Bjorn Fratangelo.
The Wimbledon report chose a horrific moment to spotlight Madison Keys’ coach/fiancé Bjorn Fratangelo. “Get the camera away from him while he’s picking his nose!” was the story on ESPN. (HT @rclaus07.) pic.twitter.com/atLuJHq3a3

Check out this video… Bjorn is wandering around, chatting with a woman to his right, when he puts his finger up to his nose and decides to drag out an annoying boogie.
He’s been holding on for a while…apparently trying to get a handle on what’s bothering him — and, for some reason, ESPN decided to stick around rather than give up on the guy.
The moment lasted so long that one of the announcers burst out laughing and had to tell the photographer to stay away from the poor man.
Reactions on X have been mixed, to say the least…some have expressed their disgust, while others have pointed out the humanity of this guy – sometimes, even the best of us have to make choices!
A sad ending to an incredible game 💔

Unfortunately, the match didn’t end so humorously… as Keys had to exit the match early due to a leg injury that limited her activities. She is now out of the competition, while Paolini is with Emma Navarro in the quarterfinals.
As for the viral moment… Bjorn probably wishes ESPN would stay out of his business!
