Frances Tiafoe gotta thank @Pusha_T for the support after the win!
"One of the nicest people I've ever met": Tiafoe full of praise for returning Wozniacki, shares admiration after US Open practice

America’s tennis star Frances Tiafoe has heaped praise on the
former world number one Caroline Wozniacki.
Denmark’s veteran tennis star recently came out of retirement
after a gap of more than three years and is currently taking part in the US
Open 2023.
Tiafoe, while talking to the media, heaped praise on ‘legend’
Wozniacki and revealed that it was ‘nice’ to have a training session with her.
"Caro, obviously she's a legend, one of the nicest
people I've ever met,” he said. “It's cool to hit some balls with her, joke
around. She's such a legend of our sport. It's cool to have her back, competing
at a high level."
Tiafoe has booked his place in the third round of the US
Open after securing a straight-set win against Austria’s Sebastian Ofner with a
score of 6-3, 6-1, 6-4. He will now face Adrian Mannarino of France in the
round of 32 clash on Friday.
On the other hand, Wozniacki has already booked her place in
the round of 32 after securing a thumping win in straight sets against Czech
Republic’s Petra Kvitova with a score of 7-5, 7-6. She will now face America’s Jennifer
Brady in the third-round clash on Friday.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
