Tennis legend Roger Federer and popular comedian Kevin Hart were in attendance for the quarterfinal matches at the 2024 US Open. A clip of both stars’ hilarious reactions to Frances Tiafoe and Grigor Dimitrov’s match has gone viral on social media.
A few minutes after the start of the US Open quarterfinal match between Aryna Sabalenka and Qinwen Zheng, Federer walked into the stands of the Arthur Ashe Stadium. He was given a warm standing ovation by the fans. The Swiss Maestro smiled and waved before taking his seat.
It was Federer’s first visit to the stadium since retiring in 2022. He didn’t compete at the US Open in 2022, playing his last official Grand Slam match at Wimbledon. Federer first enjoyed the Sabalenka and Zheng match, which the Belarusian won in a straight set.
That match was followed by the mouthwatering encounter between Tiafoe and Dimitrov. In the viral video, Federer can be seen standing, taking in the action with a clap and a nod. Meanwhile, Hart was spotted shifting his head from side to side with the ball as he kept a close eye on the proceedings.

Frances Tiafoe astonished by Roger Federer’s cool look during his quarterfinal match against Grigor Dimitrov
Frances Tiafoe noticed Roger Federer being presenting the stadium during his quarterfinal match against Grigor Dimitrov at the US Open. He joked that the former World No. 1 continues to look as perfect as he did when he was a player.
Dimitrov, who beat Andrey Rublev on Sunday (September 1) to reach his first US Open quarterfinal since 2019, saw his strong run come to an end against Tiafoe. The American was leading 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-3, 4-1 before Dimitrov retired due to an issue with his leg.
After the match, Tiafoe was asked for his thoughts on Federe’s presence in the stands. The World No. 20 expressed love for the 43-year-old’s looks and called him a legend of the sport.
The way he looked in the suit was the same way he looked when he was playing. No sweating. T-shirts ironed perfect, hair perfect. What’s up with this dude, man? Hair perfect. So it was just funny man. I give him crap about that all time. But what a guy, what a legend.Frances Tiafoe said during his US Open press conference
Tiafoe will face his compatriot Taylor Fritz in the All-American men’s singles semifinal at the US Open. Fritz leads their head-to-head 6-1. Both players will be hoping to come out on top and reach their first Grand Slam final.
