Frances Tiafoe lights up Tommy Paul’s wedding rehearsal with bottle roulette chaos

Frances Tiafoe turned up in full US Open night-session gear to play bottle roulette at Tommy Paul and Paige Lorenzo’s wedding rehearsal in New York City on 15 July 2026.

What happened at the rehearsal dinner?

American tennis stars including Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul, and Alex Rybakov played bottle roulette on grass outside Oheka Castle in Long Island. Fritz took a tumble after the bottle pointed at him, while the group fired tennis rackets at each other’s backs. Tiafoe, dressed head-to-toe in black, became the clear bullseye-prompting Ben Shelton to joke that Rybakov somehow missed.

Why Tiafoe was the star of the night

Reilly Opelka posted a photo of Tiafoe in his all-black outfit with the caption “@bigfoe1998 in full US Open night sesh gear,” while Fritz replied to Shelton’s jibe with “@benshelton crazy he didn’t get hit… HUGE target.” The playful banter lit up the comment thread and social feeds, turning Tiafoe into the meme of the rehearsal.

Where the American crew showed up

The rehearsal dinner took place at Oheka Castle in Long Island, New York. Tiafoe arrived late with girlfriend Ayan Broomfield after a checkup session, posting a picture of his all-black fit alongside her grey dress with the caption “But we made it.” The couple had planned to leave earlier but were delayed.

What’s next for the players?

Taylor Fritz exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals on 8 July 2026, while Tiafoe and Paul bowed out in the third round. Tiafoe’s next hard-court swing begins at the Atlanta Open on 22 July 2026, where he’ll chase his first title of the season.
