A mic’d up Jimmy Butler hilariously won a point off No. 1 tennis star Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open

Jimmy Butler believes that he is one of the best tennis players in the world.

Miami Heat wing Jimmy Butler stole the show at the Stars of the Open Exhibition Match to Benefit Ukraine Relief.

Earlier this year, when he spoke to For The Win, the Heat star said that tennis was tied with basketball for his “second-favorite” sport. Butler clearly had an amazing night at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center as part of the 2023 US Open Fan Week.

After some light training, Butler originally began his evening as a crew member for Frances Tiafoe, a basketball fan who is ranked as the No. 10 tennis player in the world. Butler ran out with the other crew members and he looked noticeably taller than his peers.

Butler then competed in an exhibition doubles match with Tiafoe against Carlos Alcaraz (the No. 1 ranked tennis player in the world) and Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra.

While wearing a microphone, Butler faced off against Alcaraz and gave him instructions for how it would go down: Butler didn’t want to serve, then they had a rally, then Butler won a point off the top-ranked tennis star.

It was impressive to see Butler get in some solid hits against someone as accomplished as Alcaraz, who has already won two major titles at 20 years old.

Later in the night, however, the four-time NBA All-Star did lose in a tough match to Yatra.

Fortunately, though, the loss didn’t impact his confidence whatsoever.

Butler said the experience was a “dream come true” and that he feels he is one of the top tennis players in the world, too.

His extremely high belief in himself when it comes to dominating other sports isn’t new for Butler, though.

Butler once told For The Win that he averages a perfect score whenever he goes bowling, so of course he also thinks he is one of the best tennis players in the world.

Bradley Beal cheered on Frances Tiafoe’s US Open upset over Rafael Nadal

Tiafoe had some star power in his corner on Monday night.

One of the greatest Grand Slam winning streaks in men’s tennis came to an end in upset fashion on Monday night.

Seeking his fifth US Open singles title, two-seeded Rafael Nadal was upset by 22-seeded Frances Tiafoe in four sets (6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3) to advance to the quarterfinals. Nadal had previously reached at least the quarterfinal round in each of the last 16 majors he participated in, and he had won the prior 22 Grand Slam matches.

Tiafoe, meanwhile, advances to a Grand Slam quarterfinal for just the second time in his career after doing so at the 2019 Australian Open. Nadal may have been the favorite, but Tiafoe had quite a bit of support in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal was spotted cheering on Tiafoe, who is originally from Hyattsville, Maryland. After his win, Tiafoe called Beal one of his favorite players in the NBA, and he gave shoutouts to former Wizard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and current Washington director of player development Alex McLean, who were apparently also on-hand.

With his victory, the 24-year-old becomes the youngest American man to advance to the quarterfinals in a US Open since Andy Roddick in 2006. And he got to do it with a three-time NBA All-Star in his corner.
