Frances Tiafoe will take on Taylor Fritz in the Japan Open final and the American can't wait because he knows it's going to be a good one.
Tiafoe did not know whether he would face Fritz in the final as that match was coming after his semi-final but he did briefly comment on it during his post-match press conference. Longtime friends, Fritz and Tiafoe will certainly put up a good show and thinking about that, Tiafoe said:
"Playing Taylor would be great. We just won the Laver Cup together, so we’re obviously — even before that — very good friends. But the bond gets even tighter, doing something that’s never happened in tennis."
He added:
"I love that guy. I’m happy to see what he’s been able to do, with him having COVID and all that in Korea... It goes to show what a competitor he is, That’s what would make it so tough. He’s a great competitor, he serves well, he has a huge forehand, and he’s confident and getting better, too. I hope I end up playing him. I think it will be good."
