Insolite - Tiafoe: "This bastard can't lose".

Frances Tiafoe shone this week.

Buoyed by a very vocal crowd, the American put in one good performance after another, even reaching the final of the Cincinnati Masters 1000.

Finally beaten by a simply too strong Sinner (7-6, 6-2), the now world number 20 deciphered the defeat in his own words.

Interviewed in the press conference, he explained with a smile: "This bastard can't lose (smile). His serve is underrated.

I really had trouble reading him. He moves so well.

His average hitting speed is huge and he plays long, so you feel like you have to overplay against him."
