American tennis star Frances Tiafoe has been at an absolutely different level in the past few months making it into the ATP top 10 rankings. He has been very consistent making it to two finals and winning both of them. After his successes at the ATP Houston Open and the Stuttgart Open, he sets his eyes on a third title for 2023 and shares a sweet story ahead of his second-round matchup.

Tiafoe got his work cut out from a very young age breaking it into the ATP 1000 tournaments and battling it out against all the toughest players in the world. Playing at his home tournament, the Citi Open at Washington, he shared his story about how he used to get into the court when he was a kid with the hope of watching the top players play.

He said, “I used to sneak into this event. The same security guards that there were back then are here & we still laugh at it. They were saying ‘Thank God I used to let you in back then.” He also stated how the guards who used to act friendly with him while he was young still share a great relationship with him now. Tiafoe is one of the most loved players way back in his country with a huge fanbase.

Frances Tiafoe has been out of a title for quite some time now after winning his last title at Stuttgart beating homeboy Jan-Lennard Struff way back in mid-June. He has been criticized quite often for disappearing in big tournaments. While he continues to impress at the ATP 500 and ATP 1000 tournaments, he is still yet to make it to the later stages of any of the major Grand Slam competitions which has raised a lot of questions against the American.

While the US Open is still yet to come, Tiafoe plans on gathering as much confidence as possible before the mega tournament. With his first-round matchup against Aslan Karatsev going very well for him, Frances has already announced his arrival, making it clear that he is here for serious business. He beat the Russian 6-7, 6-7 in straight sets to progress to the next round.
