Inspiration can strike from anywhere at any time. And nothing is more inspiring to an athlete than record-makers and breakers. Frances Tiafoe recently found inspiration in an NCAA player, who is slowly becoming a living legend. Making history in college basketball, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark scored a three-pointer against Michigan Wolverines, which helped her secure the all-time NCAA scoring record, including men.

The win also pushed the University of Iowa to the final of the NCAA Championships. After the match, Clark couldn’t help but hold back her tears as she said, “I want my legacy to be the impact that I have on young kids and people in the state of Iowa. I hope that I brought them a lot of joy this season.”

She certainly went on to impact the citizens of Iowa. However, her record-breaking effort has even inspired the tennis world number 23, Frances Tiafoe. He reshared her statement with the caption, “Inspired me 🤞🏿🤞🏿@caitlinclark22“. While the University of Iowa managed to go to the NCAA finals, they couldn’t win against South Carolina.

Iowa lost 75-85 to South Carolina, dashing Clark’s hopes of winning an NCAA championship. While she couldn’t enjoy the trophy with her team, she will certainly look forward to the WNBA draft. 

Clark has inspired millions around the world, including Tiafoe. But he is not the only American tennis player who found himself moved by the former Iowa Hawkeye player. His compatriots were also awed at her performance.

Ben Shelton and Coco Gauff amazed by ‘big time’ Clark

Caitlin Clark made NCAA Women’s Tournament history by making the most 3-pointers in her career in a game against the LSU Tigers. ESPN uploaded a video of her performance on Instagram, which Coco Gauff then shared. She captioned the photo on her Instagram story, “Unreal game, sheesshh @caitlinclark22.” Ben Shelton, the American serving monster, also had a similar reaction, utterly impressed by Clark’s performance. When he shared the picture, he made a comparison to an NBA GOAT, “Caitlyn playing like curry rn“.

Gauff also shared Clark’s latest accomplishment on her Instagram story, complete with a fire emoji. Shelton, on the other hand, was outspoken about his views. He wrote, “Crazy atmosphere. Big time @caitlinclark22.”
