Ahead of the Erste Bank Open Vienna, the likes of
Frances Tiafoe,
Jannik Sinner, and others showed off the goofier side of their personalities.
The tournament organizers shared a video on Twitter of the players imitating various emojis in the Emoji Challenge. Sinner and Tiafoe were joined by Denis Shapovalov, Karen Khachanov, and
Hubert Hurkacz.
After having an average start to the season, Tiafoe would take the second half by storm. The American would advance to the final four in Atlanta, before taking New York by storm and reaching the semifinals at the US Open, a career-best performance.
Furthermore, the 24-year would lead Team World to it's first victory over Team Europe at the Laver Cup, pairing with Jack Sock to defeat the pairing of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the Swiss Maestro's last match. Tiafoe would then go on to defeat World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the singles rubber, securing the milestone victory for his team.
