Tennis might have strict traditions since the beginning but not necessarily every player has followed them. As per Serena Williams’ childhood coach, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe are such entertainers and have increased the popularity of the sport in the country. Macci’s recent comment in a recent podcast has revealed a lot!

Since tennis started, it has had strict traditions which have been followed over the years. Many stars have not taken part in the tradition and have taken part in behaviors that do not align with what used to be expected. However, the audience has also changed, and tennis fans enjoy an entertainer. As per Serena Williams’ childhood coach, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe are such entertainers and have increased the popularity of the sport in the country.

Both Tiafoe and Shelton are players who are loved by the childhood coach of Serena Williams. Despite their style and entertaining fashion, Rick Macci believes that another player will lead American tennis in the future.

Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe get praise from legendary coach

Casual tennis fans rarely focus on players below rank 10. However, often, some players succeed in drawing the attention of the crowd. Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton are two such players. Although not in the top 10, they have seen an increase in popularity in this past season. They earned praise from Rick Macci, childhood coach of Serena Williams, in the recent edition of the Tennis Nerd podcast: “I think a lot more people, not just because of his serve, they love Ben Shelton now because of his personality. And Frances (Tiafoe), you know, he’s an entertainer, Tiafoe. That means a lot. Okay? Especially if you’re looking from a business point of view, endorsements, you know, the smile, the competitiveness.”
