Tiafoe is the World No. 10 and with Taylor Fritz’s loss in the second round, he is the top-ranked American man left in the tournament.
He won one of the six grass-court tuneup tournaments leading up to Wimbledon, the 2023 Boss Open, putting him in the Top 10 for the first time in his career.

This is how you celebrate reaching the Top 10.
A monstrous game.
A great human being.
Big Foe deserves this.

The 25-year-old Maryland native affectionately known as “Big Foe” has been rising in the rankings since his biggest career win last year at the U.S. Open when he defeated Rafael Nadal in the fourth round.
He lost in the U.S. Open semifinals to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz.
Tiafoe’s Third-Round Opponent: Grigor Dimitrov
Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, 32, is Big Foe’s next opponent.
Dimitrov is the 21st seed and is a former Wimbledon semifinalist in 2014.
Tiafoe and Dimitrov have faced each other three times, and Dimitrov has won two out of the three matches.
Those matches were on hard courts; this is their first career meeting on grass courts.
Their last meeting was in the Round of 16 at the 2019 Australian Open where Tiafoe won in four very close sets.
