A video showing hilarious differences between Roger Federer and Kevin Hart watching Grigor Dimitrov and Frances Tiafoe’s match at the US Open has gone viral. Witnessing the gripping quarterfinal encounter, Federer’s collected and measured approach contrasted sharply with Hart’s lively and expressive reactions.
The 20th-seeded Tiafoe made it to the final four as Dimitrov retired in the fourth set while down 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3, 4-1. While the 20-time Grand Slam Champion was observed elegantly clapping and savoring the match, Hart was seen intently tracking every play, seemingly determined not to miss a single moment.
The official US Open social media handle shared a compilation of the two celebrities watching the game on X (formerly Twitter) and captioned it:
“Roger Federer watching tennis and Kevin Hart watching tennis. A play in two acts.”
You can watch the former Swiss tennis player and Hart reacting to the quarterfinal match at the 2024 US Open here:
Five-time US Open winner Federer made a return to the US Open for the first time since 2022. The legendary tennis player also graced the quarterfinal match in the women’s singles between Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen.
Frances Tiafoe expressed his admiration for Roger Federation following the latter’s presence at his quarterfinal clash against ninth seed Grigor Dimitrov. Tiafoe advanced to the US Open semifinal after the Bulgarian retired due to an issue in his leg.
In a press conference after his match, Tiafoe was asked about Federer gracing Arthur Ashe Stadium. The American commented that the now-retired Swiss tennis legend had the same sharp appearance in the stand as he did while playing.
“The way he looked in the suit was the same way he looked when he was playing. No sweating. Tees like ironed perfect, hair perfect. What’s up with this dude, man? Hair perfect. So it was just funny man.”
He added:
“I give him crap about that all time. But what a guy, what a legend. So nice he’s just enjoying his life, doing his things. Like just popping in wherever he kind of wants to and everyone embraces him. Unbelievable, wherever he goes. I mean such an icon.”
