In the Washington tournament, he has a record of 7-7, reaching the quarterfinals in both 2022 and 2023. Tiafoe achieved his career-high ranking of number 10 in June 2023 after winning his third ATP Tour title at Stuttgart on grass. In the final, he saved 1 match point against Struff to earn a tour-level title on all three surfaces. During the 2023 season, he joined his compatriot Fritz in the top 10, marking the first time since 2012 that two Americans were ranked in the top 10. Tiafoe made headlines when he defeated 4-time champion Nadal en route to the semifinals of the 2022 US Open, becoming the first American men’s semifinalist at that event since Roddick in 2006. He also contributed to Team World’s victory in the 2022 Laver Cup, teaming up with Sock to defeat Federer/Nadal in the final match before clinching the cup with a win over Tsitsipas. Tiafoe won his first ATP Tour title at the age of 20 at the 2018 Delray Beach tournament and remains the youngest American champion since Roddick, who won the 2002 Houston tournament at the age of 19. He also won his second ATP Tour title at the 2023 Houston tournament. Tiafoe’s parents emigrated from Sierra Leone in 1996, and his father worked as the Head of Maintenance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland, where Frances and his twin brother Franklin trained as children. It is worth mentioning that Tiafoe made his ATP Tour debut in Washington 10 years ago as a wildcard ranked 1139th, losing to Donskoy in the first round. This will be his 8th appearance at the event, and he aims to reach his third consecutive quarterfinals in Washington after losing to eventual champions in both 2022 and 2023.
