Coco Gauff and Andre Agassi's ex-coach amused as rising American stars show up in identical outfits on Houston tennis courts

Coco Gauff and Andre Agassi's former coach, Brad Gilbert, was amused after witnessing the matching outfits worn by rising American tennis stars Alex Michelsen and Learner Tien at the 2025 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston. This marked the first time Michelsen and Tien competed against each other on the ATP Tour.

Before entering the ATP 250 clay court tournament, Michelsen and Tien had participated at the Miami Open. Tien suffered a first-round defeat to Joao Fonseca, while Michelsen was eliminated in the second round by Camilo Ugo Carabelli. In Houston, the 20-year-old is seeded fifth in the tournament, and he began his campaign with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Tien.

However, what caught the attention of many was the identical outfits worn by Alex Michelsen and Learner Tien, both sponsored by Adidas. They wore a black and neon green ensemble from head to toe.

In light of this incident, Coco Gauff's former coach Brad Gilbert took to social media to highlight the matching outfits of Michelsen and Tien, expressing his amusement at the situation.

"in there 1st career pro matchup @mensclaycourt AM vs fast Learner they are wearing exactly the same kit head to toe," Gilbert posted on X.

Apart from their singles campaign, Alex Michelsen and Learner Tien will also compete in the doubles event at the 2025 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships. Michelsen has paired up with Mackenzie McDonald, and they will face the Australian duo of Matthew Romios and Adam Walton in the first round.

On the other hand, Tien has teamed up with Jenson Brooksby after receiving a wild card entry into the main draw, and they will play against Fernando Romboli and John-Patrick Smith in the first round.
