American Frances Tiafoe is a lot more confident since winning his first title at Delray Beach a few weeks ago. The 20-year-old says improving his serving and his play in the big moments of a match has led to his recent run.
Two days ago at the Miami Open, he edged Kyle Edmund 7-6 (4), 4-6, 7-6 (5).
“It's huge. It's everything,” the No. 63 Tiafoe said. “Delray taught me a lot. I beat some quality players back-to-back-to-back, which I've never done. I've played so many matches in my career so far where I played unbelievable, came up just short. Now I'm feeling really comfortable when it gets tight. I actually embrace it, I want it. It's fun for me. I'm just trying to ride this wave as long as I can.”
