When asked about his tennis, Tiafoe doesn't mince words:

When asked about his tennis, Tiafoe doesn't mince words: "How do I feel? Like shit!"

Frances Tiafoe is having a rather difficult 2024 season. Ranked 16th in the world at the start of the season, the American is now ranked 26th. Despite a breakthrough in Houston, where he reached the final, Tiafoe is no longer able to impress. After three straight defeats in Madrid, Cagliari and Rome, the 26-year-old has decided to play the ATP 250 in Lyon this week.

Lacking confidence, he finally found his way back to winning ways. Playing against Jaume Munar (63rd), a veteran of the clay courts, he scored a convincing victory (7-6, 6-4 in 1h37). Questioned in the press conference following his victory, he admitted that he had had a very difficult start to the season. Quite frankly, he declared: "How do I feel? Like shit! (smiles) It's not easy. Over the last six months, I haven't played well. I've lost a lot of games. It builds character. I know what I'm capable of, and it'll come back."

ESP Munar, Jaume

Andy has withdrawn, Most sensible decision he's made this afternoon, to be honest. Sad to see the match end this way. 😢

Andy is clearly struggling with an injury atm, so why carry on & aggravate it even more, especially with Wimbledon coming up 🤔

He's decided to play on, but he's definitely not 100 %

Yes, he called for the MTO in the 1st set, having only played 3 games in total.
