From sports legends to movie stars, business tycoons and fashion icons were present in the stands to cheer on their favourite superstars. Tennis great Roger Federer and prominent comedian Kevin Hart attended the US Open 2024 quarter-final match between Frances Tiafoe and Grigor Dimitrov, which the American won 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-3, 4-1.
Meanwhile, a video had gone viral on social media that shows the hilarious differences between Federer and Hart’s reactions while watching the Tiafoe - Dimitrov clash. Federer's composed expressions were in stark contrast to Hart's vibrant reaction while witnessing the intense knockout match.
The Swiss legend can be seen enjoying the match with a nod and clap.
