Tommy Paul picked “Me!” as his favorite, while Frances Tiafoe admitted he knows quite a few songs and is in fact a big T-Swift fan. But hilariously, he failed to single out one name of them. Chris Eubanks picked “Closure” and “Shake It Off” as the best among the rest.
Several other tennis stars had earlier expressed their love for the American pop singer. Taylor Fritz is one of them, with even Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal admitting to be Swifties. Federer even once said that he knows all Taylor Swift songs because of his children. But the biggest fan among all of them is the current world number one in women’s singles.
