Ask everybody else on the tour, mothe*****er can't lose. He has a really good serve, he moves so well. 6 4', and lanky, he moves so well. And his average pace on the ball is big and he has a great dip, so you feel like you are overplaying to match his medium.
Frances Tiafoe said in his post-match press conference

The 26-year-old also spoke about the mistakes he made and reckoned that he needed to play more offensively against Sinner.
