In recent times, tennis has seen many famous faces come out to cheer up their favorite tennis players. Wimbledon had the British Royals and Spain’s King Felipe VI in the final round of the tournament. Last year at the US Open, it was former First Lady Michelle Obama who stunned everyone by showing up at Frances Tiafoe‘s semi-final round.

But now that this year’s US Open has started, the 25-year-old American tennis player shared a desire that somehow went to the 19-year-old Coco Gauff as she displayed her astonishing talent on the New York courts.

Frances Tiafoe shares his desire for the US Open?

After winning the first round at Flushing Meadows against Learner Tien, the 10th-seeded tennis player, during the post-match press conference, shared a desire to have Barack Obama and his wife Michelle in one of his U.S. Open matches.

Along with that, he also highlighted his experience of how he would feel if he ever played a tennis match in front of the 44th US president.

He said, “I mean, obviously, Michelle. It’s not going to get much better than that. Maybe it will; probably not. Maybe if her husband is sitting next to her. I don’t know. It’s pretty tough to beat that. A tennis match, I mean it’s nuts. Yeah, but, I mean, a lot of cool people have been able to come and take the time out to watch lately. Yeah, probably both. I know especially if they’re loud enough and getting really into it.”

Further, she also highlighted how having someone known in the stands matters a lot, just like having your friends cheer up for you. Although he won the first round of the tournament, it definitely came at the cost of seeing his desire vanish in front of his eyes.

Nevertheless, while he might be waiting for the right opportunity, his compatriot, Gauff, has scored a run just in time.

Yes, the 44th US President was there to enjoy the opening round of the tournament and watched Gauff triumph.

Not only that the American teen didn’t even disappoint them and displayed amazing tennis on the tennis court. On the other hand, Tiafoe was somewhere waiting for the same opportunity, making his desire a little blurry for this tennis season.
