Frances Tiafoe looks back on his performance at the US Open in 2024. He reached the semi-finals, losing to compatriot Taylor Fritz.

He said: "It wasn't easy to lose in the semi-finals of the US Open 2024.

I really thought I could have been in the final. I thought it was pretty uneven up to that point.

Once again, you have to take your hat off to Taylor. He fought hard and deserved to win. The guy who wins the match deserves to win.

I'm glad it was an American who won. It was great to see him play a final. It will only light the fire in me to keep working."

A quarter-finalist at the Australian Open in 2019, Tiafoe intends to repeat that performance this year.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
