Frances Tiafoe does everything with style—on the tennis court and off it. From the moment he started playing tennis on the local courts in College Park, Maryland, Tiafoe’s energetic personality and passion for the game shined through, and it wasn’t long before he garnered attention as an up-and-coming junior player. At the age of 15, he became the youngest Orange Bowl champion in history, and turned pro three years later.
Since joining the ATP Tour, the 26-year-old has racked up 177 career wins, including 39 in Grand Slams. He’s a three-time title champion—winning the Stuttgart, Houston, and Delray Beach Tournaments—and he’s come close to reaching Grand Slam finals on a number of occasions. Currently the World No. 16 player, it’s only a matter of time until Big Foe finally breaks through.
