There were a great crowd in New York to watch the all-American semi-final of the US Open between Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe on Friday. Among the stars present in the stands of Arthur Ashe Stadium: rapper Travis Scott with 12 million followers. And, surprise, he was wearing the FC Sion training top. Let’s not forget that Scott has proven his fashion credibility time and time again.
Should we see a link with the recent trip of Barthélémy Constantin – the club’s sporting director – to the United States? Not sure! Given that this kit does not date from this season and that we can see the old club logo on it, we should perhaps see a link with Mario Balotelli, world football star and FC Sion striker during the 2022/2023 season.

This training top worn by Travis Scott is in any case giving Christian Constantin’s club a huge spotlight. The rapper’s actions were scrutinized during the match and the official US Open account shared a video in which we see the former partner of influencer Kylie Jenner reacting to a point. It has already been seen by more than 80,000 people.
Scott isn’t the only one who’s been creating a buzz in the stands since the tournament began. Actor and comedian Kevin Hart, 44, has had people laughing online with his unique way of following the matches. The man’s swaying body has earned him a comparison to Roger Federer, whose attitude is always so classy and was noted by Frances Tiafoe after one of his matches: “Seriously, what’s up with this guy? He looks the same in his outfit as he did when he was playing: impeccable hair, no sweat, perfectly pressed clothes.”
