22-years-old American already broke to the Top 30 of the ATP Rankings last season. Currently, he is on the 81st position but is one of the most promising talents of American tennis. While there is probably a big career ahead of him, Tiafoe spoke about how he started with tennis.

“I didn’t choose this sport by any means,” Tiafoe said. “I love to say it: it chose me. We’d go to school and then after we couldn’t wait to get to the tennis courts. It was fun. We spent a lot of time together, a lot of good memories, a lot of good brotherhood. I kind of just made the decision I’m going to play every day and I’m just going to keep getting better, keep getting better. I’m going to chase a goal that sounds unrealistic now, but I’m going to turn it into a reality pretty soon. That’s what I did. I stayed the course, I had a vision. You can’t achieve anything if you don’t dream it," Tiafoe said.

“Anything you want to achieve, just be obsessed. I was obsessed with playing tennis. I was obsessed with watching it, just being around the sport, learning, soaking up everything I can… anything you want to be great at, you’ve got to be obsessed with [it]. It’s got to be a priority. You’ve got to be able to sacrifice certain things. You can argue I sacrificed doing normal things, just being a kid. But I was having the time of my life, so I was really just enjoying it and that’s all I wanted to do. I was different than a lot of other kids,” said Tiafoe.
