When you think about tennis, you might picture players wearing plain white outfits that look simple and normal. But then there’s Frances Tiafoe: someone who does things differently. Tiafoe steps onto the court wearing clothes that really stand out and aren’t like what others wear. It isn’t any different in the ongoing US Open.

In the world of tennis, where most players wear almost identical clothes, Frances Tiafoe has become known for his unique fashion choices. The American tennis star is not afraid to wear outfits that catch everyone’s attention, even if they are a bit unusual.

Frances Tiafoe has a bold sense of fashion that always grabs attention, though the attention is not always positive. During the 2023 Australian Open, he made a striking entrance onto the court in a vibrant psychedelic suit. This outfit showed that Tiafoe really wants to do something different with his on-court fashion choices.

However, not everyone liked his outfit choice. Some fans and pundits didn’t like what he was wearing and said it looked “ugly” and “tacky”. But Tiafoe’s girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, supported him and said she was the one who chose the outfit for him. She even said on Twitter that they had a fashion show to pick the best outfit and she really liked the one he wore. She even took the blame, saying, “Y’all can blame me.”

At the US Open, in the same year, Tiafoe continued to wear unique outfits. A funny picture of his outfit was posted next to a picture on an animated sea with cartoon fishes. The caption was a joke stating, “can you find Nemo?”.

This time, though, people reacted differently. The same people who had laughed at his style before, supported him now and thought his fashion choices were cool and interesting.

“Why does he wear it? Because he can,” one fan tweeted, capturing the unapologetic spirit behind his fashion choices.

“Big Foe’s US Open kit looks amazing,” another exclaimed.

“I need the tennis folks to leave @FTiafoe alone because all his kits are daring and stylish and break from the monotony of the fashion choices from about 95 percent of the other players,” a supporter emphasized.

“Love the shirt and the sleeveless look, but the neck looks weirdly high to me,” a fan chimed in, offering constructive feedback.

“I really need this kit,” expressed another, showing that they really like his style and want to wear something similar.

“That’s a fire shirt 🔥,” a fan praised.
