After the match, Tiafoe was visibly relieved to get by the crafty Mannarino.
“He’s so annoying to play. He’s bunting the ball around. It’s so slow. You look at him & are like ‘What’s he doing?’ But it’s so effective.. he’s super tough. I’m happy the match is over. He’s super annoying to play”
Big Foe had the home crowd fired up for him as he crossed the threshold to victory.
The US Open crowd goes absolutely WILD for Frances Tiafoe.
Electricity in this stadium today.
All for Big Foe. ❤️

Tiafoe paid homage to Arthur Ashe whose name is on the stadium where he played today.
Frances Tiafoe spoke about Arthur Ashe:
“I’ve always watched this tournament as a kid… The fans are unbelievable. There’s so much history here. Arthur Ashe stadium. What a legend. I just want my name in the same sentence as his.”
Chills. ❤️
