Video - Tiafoe and that irresistible backhand passing shot in Tokyo 2022

Frances Tiafoe remains one of the showmen on the tour, as evidenced by this stroke of genius he pulled off three years ago in Tokyo.

While his 2025 season hasn't lived up to his standards, Frances Tiafoe had an interesting end to his 2022 season, stringing together a semifinal at the US Open, a final in Tokyo, and a quarterfinal at Paris-Bercy.

In Tokyo specifically, Tiafoe defeated Miomir Kecmanovic in the quarterfinals (6-0, 6-4), pulling off a magnificent one-handed backhand passing shot on the run in the process.

A brilliant shot that demonstrates all the talent of the 27-year-old player when he is full of confidence.
