Description
“GAME CHANGER”
Our cover star, the new world No.10 FRANCES TIAFOE, is shot in Athens by photographer Bruno Staub (Vogue Italia, Double, Fantastic Man). In the debut issue of BAGEL, we tell Tiafoe’s American Dream story, from his parents’ move to the USA from war-torn Sierra Leone in the 1990s to winning a scholarship at the tennis academy where his father was the maintenance man to entering the world’s top 10. “Big Foe” recognises the need for tennis to bring in new, younger, more diverse supporters. He also talks about his love of AfroBeats, basketball and stand-up comedy, and what it’s like to count Michelle Obama and LeBron James as fans.
