Frances Tiafoe might be among the top-ranked American tennis pros, but he admittedly gets a little starstruck just like anybody else. 

During a recent interview on “The Pivot” podcast, the 2024 U.S. Open semifinalist spoke about his breakout success and the recognition that came with that, including the attention from other celebrities and athletes.   

“I’ve said it in real time, whoever I’m with, like, ‘Yo, I’m out here taking shots with Taylor Swift,” Tiafoe said, adding that he is admittedly a “Beyoncé guy.”

“But at the moment I’m like, man, like, this is crazy, she’s the biggest star out here.” 

Tiafoe, 26, said the turning point in his career was when he defeated legendary tennis pro Rafael Nadal in the fourth round of the 2022 U.S. Open. The win would advance him to the quarterfinals, making him the youngest American man at 24 to reach the quarters since Andy Roddick did so in 2006. 

However, shots with Swift is only the tip of the iceberg.

“Trav and Mahomes, they’re like ‘Yo, we gotta have you in [Kansas City]. Them saying that is wild to me and then they rolled out the red carpet for me,” he continued. “It’s crazy because playing tennis and being able to reach that many people and people want to meet me and hang out and actually do stuff, those are the things of why you do what you do.”

Despite enjoying the company of celebrities, Tiafoe also relishes in his relatability to fans. 

“A lot of people can see themselves in you… I’m just a regular dude, man. I’m just a dude from Maryland that just loves tennis.”
