Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and popstar Taylor Swift have captured the public’s attention since announcing their relationship last month. Now, tennis fans are adding to the excitement by speculating whether Rafael Nadal will cross paths with the couple in 2024, given the NFL champion’s love for tennis.
Kelce, 34, recently gained attention for old tweets revealing his love for the sport dominated by Nadal for the past two decades.
Swift, 33, also has a connection to tennis, performing “America the Beautiful” at the US Open when she was just 13 years old.
The couple could potentially attend the 2024 edition of the United States’ Grand Slam, which starts days before the NFL season kicks off next year.

Nadal, 37, previously shared a video of himself listening to a Swift song as he prepared to face Felix Auger-Aliassime at the 2022 ATP Finals.
If Swift and Kelce attend a Nadal match, it’s likely they’ll exchange pleasantries afterwards.
Kelce has expressed his admiration for tennis legend John McEnroe, citing McEnroe’s passion on the court as the reason for choosing him as his ideal tennis partner.
