Every time Frances Tiafoe steps onto the court, fans get to witness something unique. Be it his quirky outfits or vibrant on-court personality, Tiafoe can have it all. One such event occurred during his French Open campaign. Earlier today, Tiafoe was up against Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals of the French Open. The American star turned up in quite a unique outfit, which left the fans in awe.

The 27-year-old Tiafoe made it to his maiden Roland Garros quarterfinal. However, his campaign came to a sad halt as he was defeated by Musetti in four sets 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, and 6-2. Nonetheless, he turned up in a vibrant blue outfit, which surely left the fans impressed. From his headband to his shoes, Tiafoe had everything matching in blue as fans related it to the ‘Smurf’ outfit.

Even Frances Tiafoe’s girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, underscored her enthusiastic support by tweeting, “I’m sorry, but @lululemon this may be my favorite kit, ever. 💙 @UKGInc @Barclays.”

His outfit is designed by Lululemon from their men’s tennis collection in “pool party” blue. The royal blue outfit is truly distinctive at the ongoing French Open and has left the fans impressed, just like his performances over the course of the tournament. He has been the global brand ambassador of Lululemon since the start of the year and has been putting on unique outfits, which invited the reactions of fans on social media.

With Tiafoe putting on the blue outfit from top to bottom, many fans likened it to the quirky Smurf outfit. The American star resembled the blue, humanoid creatures, Smurfs, as one fan pointed out, “Tiafoe the Smurf outfit.” However, on this occasion, Tiafoe’s performance couldn’t resemble the Smurfs as he went down fighting against Musetti earlier today.

Meanwhile, some fans praised Tiafoe for the choice of his outfit, which stood out at this year’s French Open. Surely, if there was a prize for the best outfit at Roland Garros, Frances Tiafoe would’ve grabbed one. On this front, one fan wrote, “Tiafoe you looked great in that pale blue outfit.” The American star didn’t leave a single part of his outfit in a color other than blue. Further, some Twitter users also felt that the blue outfit would give Tiafoe extra energy to succeed. “Frances “Frozone” Tiafoe is going to make history with her Smurf outfit. Musetti better get ready, he doesn’t know what’s coming.” However, it wasn’t the case, as he was knocked out of the tournament.

Similarly, one of the fans was all praise of Tiafoe for the dedication he showed to the sport. Be it his outfits or his on-court performances, fans have several aspects of him to get impressed by. While lauding Tiafoe, a fan wrote, “Let’s talk about Tiafoe. He sweats as a hobby; Nadal sweated less than our friend. He wipes his headband (nothing) over your face and showers you. Legendary cyan-blue outfit, which matches the whites of his eyes. Best teeth on tour. Francis Tiafoe, THE TSUNAMI.” Indeed, he is an inspiration to many young players from all over the world. Lastly, while one fan loved his jersey, there was another aspect that left the fan in awe. “Frances Tiafoe has been making just about any tennis outfit look good for a long time, but his celebration of cerulean here at this #RolandGarros is one of my favorite men’s kits of 2025 so far. Musetti, on the other hand, peaked earlier with his ultra loose clay swing outfit,” wrote a fan, as Tiafoe’s celebration was just as vibrant as his outfit.

With Frances Tiafoe’s campaign coming to a sudden halt at the French Open, he would look to continue his consistent run in the upcoming tournaments. Can Tiafoe bounce back strongly after a French Open quarterfinal exit? Let us know your views in the comments below.
