Tiafoe on why career goal is a Grand Slam title: "I'll sleep well at night, no one's gonna tell me s***"

Following his quarterfinal win over Cam Norrie this week at Indian Wells, American tennis star Frances Tiafoe recently spoke about his tennis ambitions, especially at the US Open.

Tiafoe broke new ground to reach his maiden Grand Slam semifinal last year in New York, and followed it up by advancing to his first ATP Masters 1000 semifinal. At the post-match conference, he spoke about his top goal, which is to win a Grand Slam event.

"Win a Grand Slam," he said. "Be No. 1 in the world, great, but if I can walk away from the game, I won a slam, I will sleep totally well at night. No one's gonna tell me s***. I'm gonna be, 'Oh, I'm a Grand Slam champion.' I will be pumped, preferably US Open."

Furthermore, he admitted his immediate goal was to lift the trophy at Indian Wells, but would like to capture a Major trophy down the line.

"Yeah, that's to go," he added. "And I'm in semis at Indian Wells, so why not try to win Indian Wells first? Yeah, I mean, I think that's the one thing I want to actually, to win a Grand Slam."
