Frances Tiafoe recently lauded Steph Curry's stellar skill in his recent match against the Suns. The tennis player is currently gearing up to commence his 2025 season at the Brisbane International.
Amid this, one of the instances of the match between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns caught Frances Tiafoe's attention, where Curry showcased his remarkable skill of transitioning from a behind-the-back move into a one-legged mid-range floater.
Tiafoe commended the $240 million-worth basketball star (as per Celebrity Net Worth) by sharing the video of the latter's move on his Instagram story and wrote:
"Nah dawg this OD🤦♂️🤦♂️ "
Tiafoe wrapped up his season after competing at the Paris Masters, where he faced an early finish as he fell short of qualifying further than the first round. He squared off against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who dominated the match with a score of 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 3-6. The last few tournaments of his season were the same for him as he faced an early exit in each of them, such as the Almaty Open, the Vienna Open, the Shanghai Masters, and a few more.
The American tennis player will next be seen competing for the Brisbane International on December 31 against Adam Walton.
Frances Tiafoe opens up about competing against Nick Kyrgios at the Brisbane International
Frances Tiafoe might square off in a potential match against Nick Kyrgios in the second round at the Brisbane International. In the tournament's press conference, the American made his feelings known about having the Australian as his competitor. He said that he and Nick are very good friends and it would be great to compete against him.
"I think the whole tournament would look forward to that. I mean, me and Nick are great friends. We had one match where we played in DC where he beat me at home. I’d have to return the favour if we played here. I had a crazy amount of match points, lost. I think it’s good for the sport to have match-ups like that," said Tiafoe. [via Tennis Gazette]
He added:
"Obviously he puts so many a***s in seats. So do I. We have a great rapport. It would be great to compete against him, see how his form is. But also him just playing the sport. Whether you like it or not, it’s great for the sport. However you feel about him, you’re going to watch him play. Gives more views to the game. Guys like him are crucial.”
