Two sports legends had coffee and laughter in Miami for one day.
Jimmy Butler gave Emma Raducanu a great tutorial about one of his loves at the 2022 Miami Open. Butler, 32, showed Raducanu, 19, how to create an oat milk latte using his Big Face Coffee on Tuesday. PEOPLE has exclusive footage. (Big Face Coffee is this year’s Miami Open players’ official coffee.)
Butler was “my daughter’s favorite tennis player.” while Raducanu assembled the ideal cup. She complimented him when he demonstrated his barista talents. “He did very good and the coffee art was something,” she recalls, awarding him a 9/10.
I’m thrilled to attend the Miami Open! “I loved learning how to make a latte with Jimmy, who loves tennis and will watch some matches,” Raducanu tells PEOPLE.
“I’m excited to be here at the Miami Open this week,” Butler tells PEOPLE. “Our Big Face Coffee brand is here all tournament and just getting the chance to watch some of the best players like Emma compete is what it’s all about.”Butler sold $20 NBA Bubble coffee cups from his Disney World hotel room launching Big Face Coffee. Butler founded his firm in October 2021 to provide customized coffee to everybody.Having his company selected the official coffee of a major athletic event brings Butler closer to his ambition.”I want to start stores and coffee shops after my profession since I adore coffee. I want to have coffee with folks “Butler told folks.”When Jimmy Butler retires, I promise that if you Google Big Face Coffee shop, particularly in Miami or San Diego, I’ll be there honing my latte art. There I’ll prove this isn’t a game for me. “I love coffee,” he remarked.Raducanu is eager to start the Miami Open following a second-round bye. The 11th seed, who lost at Indian Wells, made history last summer by becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam championship by winning the US Open without losing a set. Raducanu became the first British woman to win a major since Virginia Wade in 1977.The 2022 Miami Open runs until April 3.
