American tennis star and ATP world No. 17 Frances Tiafoe is used to the bright lights at the U.S. Open. He's been there before, playing some of the best tennis of his career at his home major. But he's nowhere close to finished.
Tiafoe has qualified for the U.S. Open semifinals twice: once a year ago and initially in 2022 after an emotional victory over the legendary Rafael Nadal in the fourth round. Last year, Tiafoe's U.S. Open run came to a close at the hands of fellow American Taylor Fritz in a five-set battle. Now, he's as hungry as ever to reach his maiden major final on the heels of the U.S. Open where he has historically played so well.
