Will Frances Tiafoe’s GOAT tribute repeat for Serena Williams?
The 10th-seeded tennis player previously stated that Serena Williams was the prime reason behind the success that he achieved at the US Open last year. Well, last year, to honor the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s contribution to American tennis, he wore a GOAT hoodie and praised the tennis legend for her achievements.
He said, “Obviously the goat, #SerenaWilliams. She’s definitely the reason why I think I can do the things I’m doing. … She’s on a different stratosphere.”

While the former world number one has inspired a lot of young tennis players to take up tennis, Tiafoe is also one of them who is ready to carry the torch for American tennis.
But as this year’s last Grand Slam tournament approaches, the biggest question is whether the 2022 US Open semi-finalist will repeat the GOAT feat for Williams. Whether he will don the GOAT sweatshirt once more or maybe he will find another method to honor the legendary American tennis player while he is in New York.
