Frances Tiafoe attended the Citi Open in Washington as a child and now he is all set to face Kevin Anderson or Jenson Brooksby in the second round.
"You’re like, ‘Wow, I can maybe play with these guys one day, even be in the same locker room as these guys," Tiafoe said on Sunday ahead of the tournament starting. “I think those experiences definitely helped me to be the man I am today.”
He also spoke about the 'Rafa Effect' with Nadal the top name involved in the tournament as he chose the US Open warm-up as his first tournament back.
“It’s just unbelievable that he came here to D.C," he added. “Having a player of his caliber here is pretty legendary.”

AceOfBase10-11-2024 - Zheng v Gauff the best final we could get. Both were and remain in top form the last few weeks. Queenwen even the whole year almost. If she finds her aces she's a contender. If not, Gauff's gonna take it.MrAndreeva08-11-2024

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
