Tiafoe on achieving ranking milestone: "My ranking is cool but I just want to win the biggest titles in the world"

Frances Tiafoe will have a new career-high ranking on Monday but that's not his goal as he's focused on winning.

Getting a taste of winning at the US Open left the American wanting more and that's his focus for now. Getting a new career high ranking is good for Tiafoe as it allows him to enter events easier making it easier for him to win those:

"It's cool. My ranking's going in the right direction. The work's finally paying off. To be brutally honest, my ranking is cool and everything, but I just want to win the biggest titles in the world. Wherever my ranking sits is great, but I know what I'm capable of."
