  • Bintang tenis Amerika Frances Tiafoe melakoni semifinal Grand Slam pertamanya di US Open menghadapi Carlos Alcaraz sepekan lalu.
  • Michelle Obama berada di tepi lapangan di Stadion Arthur Ashe bersorak untuk penduduk petenis warga asli Maryland berusia 24 tahun itu.
  • Ketika sang atlet kalah, mantan ibu negara Ameria Serikat itu menemuinya di ruang ganti dan memberinya pujian serta ucapan selamat.

SKOR.id - Frances Tiafoe menikmati perjalanan kareirnya yang masih terbilang singkat di US Open 2022.

Petenis asli Maryland berusia 24 tahun itu menjadi petenis Amerika Serikat (AS) pertama yang melaju ke pertandingan semifinal di Flushing Meadows sejak Andy Roddick mencapai final Grand Slam pada 2006.

Hari Jumat (9/9/2022), dia menghadapi peringkat 3 dunia Carlos Alcaraz dalam pertandingan yang sangat sengit. Yang tak diduga Tiafoe, selain sejumlah aktris dan selebriti, terdapat sesosok istimewa lain yang menyaksikan pertarungannya di tribun.

Mantan Ibu Negara AS, Michelle Obama duduk di barisan terdepan di Stadion Arthur Ashe saat Tiafoe memainkan lima set thriller melawan Alcaraz.

Meskipun dia kalah 7-6 (8-6), 3-6, 1-6, 7-6 (7-5), 3-6 yang memupus harapan juara US Open edisi tahun ini, Tiafoe menunjukkan performa yang mengagumkan sepanjang pertandingan — yang berlangsung selama empat jam dan 19 menit.

Michelle tampak bersorak untuk bintang muda Amerika itu sepanjang pertandingan. Dan begitu pertandingan berakhir, wanita itu menjadi orang pertama yang memberi tahu Tiafoe betapa bangganya dia atas usaha sang atlet.

"Dia menonton. Dia sangat bangga padamu," kata Michelle, mungkin merujuk pada suaminya, Presiden Amerika Serikat ke-44, Barack Obama. "Kami berdua sangat bangga padamu."

Michelle juga memastikan bahwa dia menolak permintaan maaf yang diucapkan Tiafoe selama wawancara di lapangan setelah pertandingan. Yang mengatakan dia merasa seolah-olah dia mengecewakan rakyat Amerika, yang Michelle meyakinkan dia jelas tidak terjadi.

"Anda tidak mengecewakan siapa pun malam ini," kata Michelle. "Jangan sampai semangat itu datang padamu. Kamu luar biasa, luar biasa, membuat kami semua sangat bangga."

Kemudian dia menawarkan guyonan ibu-isme klasik: "Saya harap Anda bersenang-senang di luar sana!"

Setelah berbasa-basi lagi, Michelle berjanji membiarkan Tiafoe melanjutkan malamnya dan, mudah-mudahan, beristirahat.

Ketika Tiafoe mengatakan bahwa itu sebuah kehormatan untuk bertemu dengannya, sang Mantan Ibu Negara menjawab: "Kehormatan adalah milikku - teruskan saja."***
