Kevin Heart revealed why he watched the US Open quarterfinal between Frances Tiafoe and Grigor Dimitrov. The match between the two, however, came to an unfortunate end as the Bulgarian had to retire in the fourth set due to a leg injury.

There was a hilarious comparison made by the tournament between the way Roger Federer and Hart based on how they watched the match. While Federer was relatively calmer, enjoying the match, Hart on the other could be seen hilariously being into it and trying to follow the ball.

However, Kevin Hart appeared on The Tonight Show, where he was asked by host Jimmy Fallon, who burst into laughter watching the clip highlighting the difference in styles between Federer and Hart if he knew he was watching the match so excitedly.

In hilarious fashion, the popular comedian revealed that he didn't know that. He also revealed that he watching the match in that manner because there were some boys in front of him due to whom, he wasn't able to see the match.

He also joked the boys sitting in front of him were 'selfish' on their part. The entire interaction left Fallon and the crowd in splits.

"Absolutely no, No," Hart said. "I gotta be honest right, I just gotta be 1000% honest. I couldn't see, the boys. I couldn't see, so it looks like I'm doing some, at the boy's head, I'm like move your, MOVE!"
"Move your head, so i can see. I don't know why he sat there, that was so selfish."

During the post-match press conference, Frances Tiafoe said that Roger Federer looked the same way as he did during his playing days. He mentioned how he wasn't sweating, had perfectly ironed t-shirts, and had perfect hair and questioned how it was possible.

"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.

The American joked about how he used to make fun of Federer for his look but later gave a nod to the Swiss calling him a legend. He said he was happy the 20-time Major champion was enjoying his life and still didn't let go of the sport coming to watch matches whenever he wanted.

"I give him crap about that all time. But what a guy, what a legend. So nice he’s just enjoying his life, doing his things. Like just popping in wherever he kind of wants to and everyone embraces him. Unbelievable, wherever he goes. I mean such an icon,” Tiafoe said.

Frances Tiafoe gave a shoutout to Kevin Hart. He said it was 'sick' seeing the comedian watch him play.

"Ultimately, it was pretty dope but seeing Kevin Hart was sick, honestly."

Frances Tiafoe will play his compatriot Taylor Fritz in the semifinals of the 2024 US Open. The winner of their match will face either World No. 1 Jannik Sinner or 25th seed Jack Draper in the final.
