Frances Tiafoe has shown immense potential since his junior days in tennis. Many tennis pundits have billed him as one of the hottest American prospects in men’s tennis currently. Moreover, he is coming off a brilliant 2021 season that saw him secure many top-10 victories.
Tiafoe emerged onto the big stage when he won his first ATP title as a 20-year-old. He won the 2018 Delray Beach Open, defeating the likes of Juan Martin del Potro and Denis Shapovalov en route to his maiden ATP title.
