For the first time in more than a decade, two American men are ranked inside the ATP Ranking as Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz continue to set the pace for US men's tennis.
Following his victory in Stuttgart last week, Tiafoe climbed two spots to a career-high of World No.10. Additionally, he also became the first Black American to reach the Top 10, joining Arthur Ashe and James Blake.
"[I am] a guy who shouldn't even really be here doing half the things he's doing," Tiafoe said, according to the ATP Tour. "And now when you say his name, you can say he's Top 10 in the world. So [that is] something that no one can take from you and I'm going to remember that forever.
"Hopefully I can ride that for a long time."
Fritz, who currently sits at World No.8, reached a career high of No.5 in February. The duo are the first American men to hold a Top 10 spot since Mardy Fish and John Isner in May 2012.

- 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".
