Frances Tiafoe played some of his best tennis ever to stun Rafael Nadal at the US Open and he was quite overwhelmed after the match.
Tiafoe is a fan favourite around the world for his sincere personality that sees him combine showmanship with high respect for his opponent. He had both of those in his win over Nadal and he didn't know quite what to say after the match:
"I don’t even know what to say. I am beyond happy, I can’t believe it. He is one of the greatest of all time, I played unbelievable tennis today, I really don’t know what happened."
Turning his attention to the match, Tiafoe admitted to Eurosport:
"I served really well at times. My percentage wasn’t high but at key moments I had some big serves. I moved well and was really aggressive. You have to thread the needle and play high risk otherwise you keep running like a yo-yo."

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
