He is the third African American to reach the top 10 ATP rankings. Tiafoe has won three ATP singles titles in his career so far, including the 2018 Delray Beach Open, the 2023 Stuttgart Open, and the 2023 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships.

Tiafoe's best Grand Slam performance was registered at the 2022 US Open, where he reached the semifinals. He was a talented junior player and won the 2013 Orange Bowl at 15, becoming the tournament's youngest-ever boys' singles champion. He made his Grand Slam debut in the French Open at 17 in 2015, becoming the youngest American to play in the main draw of the Roland-Garros since Michael Chang in 1989.

Who are Frances Tiafoe's parents?

Frances Tiafoe's parents are Constant Tiafoe and Alphina Kamara and has a twin brother, Franklin Tiafoe. He was born on January 20, 1998, in Hyattsville, Maryland, United States. His parents were immigrants from Sierra Leone; his father came to the USA in 1993, and his mother came in 1996.

In the 1990s, when Sierra Leone was immersed in a civil conflict that claimed millions of lives and left millions more displaced, Alphina and Frances Sr. set out for the United States in 1996. According to Frances, his childhood trip to Sierra Leone let him see the harsh realities of life outside of the United States and helped him to value his parents' fortitude and the possibilities they gave him and his brother.

“There’s nothing really that can prepare you for ... the culture shock, I guess you could call it, of going to a country like that,” he wrote in his essay via People.

Alphina was a nurse practitioner. Her commitment to her work served as an inspiration to Frances, who has frequently discussed his mother's resilience, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“When I asked her not to go in for work, she didn’t listen,” Frances recalled of the unprecedented circumstances. He reasoned that she used to love work and that because she and his dad never took breaks.

“That ‘zone’ that I have to get into when I’m down a set or something like that? That exists for my mom when things are getting chaotic in the nursing home and you need a calm head to make decisions that, in the end, are way more important than a tennis match.” (via The People)

Francis' father, Frances Sr., was the head of maintenance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in College Park, Maryland, where Frances developed his passion for tennis. Frances Sr.'s role at the JTCC extended beyond facility maintenance; he was also crucial in his sons' early exposure to the sport. He frequently took Frances and Franklin to work with him, spending whole days at the tennis center.

“On nights when my mom was working the night shift, my brother, Franklin, and I would go stay with Dad,” Frances wrote in his essay. “He’d sleep on the massage table so that Franklin and I could have the couches.” (via The People)
