America’s tennis star Ben Shelton joined paparazzi to take
photos of Frances Tiafoe at the Mexican Open Acapulco party.
The two participated in the pre-tournament in the White
Party ahead of the mega-event which is set to begin from Monday. In a video that
appeared on the social media platform Instagram, Shelton can be seen joining the paparazzi to take photos of Tiafoe.
Both players will be hoping to have a good outing in the upcoming
event after some light moments off the court. Shelton is often regarded as one
of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s single category.
The 21-year-old had a relatively good outing in the most
recent competition in Dallas where his journey eventually ended as he lost in
the semifinal to fellow American Tommy Paul in straight sets with a score of 6-2,
6-4. He will play his round of 32 clash against Britain’s Dan Evans on Monday.
On the other hand, Tiafoe also had an impressive outing when
he took part in the Delray Beach Open where his journey eventually came to an
end after losing in the semifinal to Paul with a score of 6-2, 6-2. He will face
Australia’s Max Purcell in the first-round clash on Monday.
