When tennis players are on the court, no one is as serious as them. However, off the court, they have their own antics, which make their personality unique. Frances Tiafoe is one person who is well-known for his hilarious persona when he is not in professional mode. Now in town for the Ultimate Tennis Showdown, Tiafoe, along with Ben Shelton, showed off his best Californian accent. 

While this was a small display of his antics, Tiafoe has ongoing banter with American sensation Coco Gauff. They showed signs of their banter during the French Open when they were training together.

Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, Diego Schwartzman, and Benoit Paire are also players who will compete for their chance at glory. Before the championship begins, the players show off their best mimicry skills as they give their best Californian impression.
