American tennis star Frances Tiafoe captured his third ATP title Sunday with a tough three-set win against Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff at the BOSS Open in Stuttgart.
The victory will push Tiafoe up to the No. 10 world ranking Monday, which will mark the first time that the 25-year-old has cracked the top 10. He will join another American, Taylor Fritz, who’s currently ranked No. 8 in the world, making them the first American male duo to rank in the ATP top 10 since 2012, when Mardy Fish and John Isner were ranked Nos. 9 and 10, respectively.
Tiafoe couldn’t control his excitement Sunday as he fell onto the grass court in pure joy after his 4–6, 7–6 (1), 7–6 (8) victory over Struff.
