Amazing Francis Tiafoe stopped in the semifinals of the US Open 2022 (he lost to Carlos Alcaraz), but he promised that he will one day win a Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows, Reuters reports.

Frances Tiafoe promises to win the US Open

Ranked 26th in the world at the start of the competition, Tiafoe said he was much more confident after his impressive victories in New York (he knocked out several big names, including Rafael Nadal).

“I gave everything I had in the last two weeks. I came here wanting to win the US Open and I feel like I let you down. It really, really hurts. Carlos played too well. One day I will come back and win this tournament.

I proved that I can play with the best and that I am capable of winning Grand Slams. Throughout my career, I have been unable to have consistency. I played well, then disappeared for a while.

I have always performed well against the best players in the world. Now I’m doing it steadily, I’m starting to beat the main rivals more easily. I’m ready to take the next step” – Frances Tiafoe.
