It’s the opening weekend of the new NFL season, but Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift enjoyed the tennis instead on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Tesla, SpaceX and X (formerly known as Twitter) owner Elon Musk was also seen in the stadium.

Kelce’s attendance at Flushing Meadows may be considered a surprise given the fact the NFL season is underway.

However, his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, are not in action on Sunday having begun their quest for an unprecedented Super Bowl ‘three-peat’ on Friday night.

Kelce and co got off to a winning start with a 27-20 triumph over the Baltimore Ravens, a match that Swift attended.

Numerous stars attended the women’s final on Saturday night, including Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton and Olympic gold medallist Noah Lyles, which saw Aryna Sabalenka get the better of American Jessica Pegula.

Fritz made his first appearance in a Grand Slam final and had his work cut out against his Italian opponent, who won his first Slam of his career in Australia back in January.

The first set was won by Sinner, claiming it 6-3 with the Italian winning the second set 6-4 before winning the third 7-5 to claim his second Grand Slam title.

Special guests from the world of music are there tooCredit: GettyFritz was backed by some to achieve glory on home turf by some though, including from rapper Drake, who placed a $210,000 (approximately £160,000) on the 26-year-old to win.

However, Drake is known for placing bets on athletes or teams that end up losing major sporting events, and the ‘Drake Curse’ has indeed struck once again.

When it came to preparing for the final, the American certainly did not appear to be fazed by the odds whatsoever.

“To be honest, I don’t think that I’m gonna be put in a more, like, stressful situation than I was today than playing in a final. I think today was much more stressful than me playing the final. I just feel good.”
