Frances Tiafoe

So...

As of right now, it looks like we're getting Zverev, Alcaraz, Shelton, Medvedev, Kabaly, Feast, Tiafoe and Daminar.

But there is room for Djokovic, Hodar or Fritz to cause some upsets in Paris.

Magnus Norman was announced during the week as Yannick Sinner's new coach.

That was the year Yannick Sinner defeated Félix Auger-Aliassime in the final.

That was last year.

2024 in Bercy which is the last year in Bercy Zverev defeated Hugo Umber and 2023 Novak Djokovic defeated Grigor Dimitrov this field is loaded by the way like obviously it's loaded it's a 64 man field there are buys for the top eight that's Zverev, Diminor, Shelton, Tiafoe, Kabaly, Medvedev, Fyss and Alcaraz The World Tour finals is very much in consideration here and serves as the motivation for all of these players who are still struggling to get there or trying to protect themselves in terms of their points that they've accumulated right now.

Where did I say TFO was in that race by the way? I just see him written down on my page.

Okay, so I give Shelton a lot of credit for taking Alcaraz out despite the fact that Alcaraz was out for four and a half months.

And then backing that up with the high pressure victory over Francis Tiafoe in the semifinals.

I was extremely impressed with Shelton.

He had a difficult time against Zverev in the final, but he gave his best.

So how do you go from that level to barely winning any matches afterwards? I cannot explain it.

ABC's Andrea Fajihi.

American tennis star Francis Tiafoe hit a new milestone.

Francis Tiafoe Fund supports tennis programs for young people in underserved communities, raising more than a million dollars.

Dave Packer, ABC News.

The NBA on ESPN is happening now.

You worked with the Cleveland Browns.

You're working, I think I've heard, with Francis Tiafoe in the tennis world.

You've talked about PGA.

But I think what's really highly relevant to our audience is you've also worked with a lot of young people.

He had a strong straight set victory over Merida in Vienna.

Musetti, who spectacularly took out Fritz in the Lyon final, had a very strong win against Tiafoe in the first round of Vienna.

Basilashvili, who was in the final of Almaty, also won his first match.

So we're going to touch upon the Djokovic match later on, but I want to start with someone I haven't talked about in over a month, and that's Aleksandra Yala and in the last video I made I discussed her loss to Prozorova at the tournament in Singapore Prozorova was ranked outside the top 100 at the time and this was a big shock and there were a lot of negative comments in regards to Yala because she had done a lot of photo shoots after the US Open.

He beat Alice in the first round and he finally seems to be moving.

freely and when olga rune is top fit he is gonna be a factor on the atp tour even for the best players i will never forget the way he dismantled carlos alcaraz on clay in barcelona in 2025 in the final so hogaruna healthy is going to be a factor and i'm happy to see him play well in this season after that horrific achilles tear that he suffered last year at the tournament in stockholm a couple of other nice results came from the guys that did well last week so greeksport won the tournament in brussels last week and he takes out nakashima seven six and a third in Vienna Medvedev won the tournament in Almaty he had a strong straight set victory over Merida in Vienna Muzzetti who spectacularly took out Fritz in the Lyon final had a very strong win against Tiafoe in the first round of Vienna Basilashvili who was in the final of Almaty also won his first match so we're going to touch upon the Djokovic match later on but I want to start with someone I haven't talked about in over a month and that's Alexandra In the last video I made, I discussed her loss to Prozorova at the tournament in Singapore.

because she had done a lot of photo shoots after the US Open.

And since that match, things had gotten worse for Iala.
