While the new NFL season kicks off this weekend, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are savoring the excitement of tennis instead.
The celebrity couple is spotted at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, enjoying the US Open men’s final, featuring world No. 1 Jannik Sinner facing off against American Taylor Fritz.
They aren’t the only stars at this highly sought-after event, as Oscar-winning actors Matthew McConaughey, Dustin Hoffman, and Eddie Redmayne were also spotted in the crowd.
Legendary musician Jon Bon Jovi and tennis icon Billie Jean King were among the notable attendees as well.
While Kelce’s presence at Flushing Meadows is unexpected considering the NFL’s kickoff, it is noteworthy that the Kansas City Chiefs, his team, are not playing on Sunday after beginning their quest for a remarkable Super Bowl ‘three-peat’ on Friday night.
The Chiefs celebrated a successful opening with a 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens—a game that Swift attended.
Numerous celebrities witnessed the women’s final on Saturday including Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton and Olympic champion Noah Lyles, where Aryna Sabalenka triumphed over American Jessica Pegula.
This marks Fritz’s inaugural Grand Slam final appearance, facing a tough challenge from Sinner, who secured his first Slam title in Australia earlier this year.
Sinner claimed the first set with a score of 6-3.
However, some are rooting for Fritz to conquer the match on his home turf, including rapper Drake, who has wagered $210,000 (approximately £160,000) on the 26-year-old.
Notably, Drake has a reputation for backing athletes who ultimately come up short in major sporting events.
