Frances Tiafoe given special introduction by Ben Affleck during NBA All-Star Celebrity Game
Tiafoe was given a grand introduction by two-time Academy Award winner Ben Affleck as he made his way onto the court for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. Affleck highlighted Tiafoe's incredible US Open campaign last summer and then challenged him to repeat his electric performance on the basketball court alongside other big stars.
"He took the tennis world by storm this summer at the US Open. Let's see if he can do the same on the basketball court — Frances Tiafoe," Affleck announced.
Tiafoe last competed in the Dallas Open a couple of weeks ago, where he was seeded second. After beating Mackenzie McDonald in the Round of 16, Tiafoe lost to J.J. Wolf in the quarterfinals. The 25-year-old will face American No. 1 Taylor Fritz in an exhibition event in Las Vegas in early March and will then face Carlos Alcaraz if he beats Fritz.
