Francis Tiafou was the star player for the World Team at the recent Laver Cup. The American, along with Jack Shock, defeated Nadal and Federer in doubles, in the last match of the Swiss professional tennis legend.

At the same time, with his victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas, he secured the title for his team. The Canadian has been thrust into the spotlight after he “ruined” Roger Federer’s farewell match, according to social media users.

When asked by a reporter if he would apologize, Tiafou responded with a good dose of humor. “I’m not going to apologize. He must first ask for 24 years when he beat everyone,” said the American tennis player.

“I don’t think I have to apologize for beating Federer. I want to see him and talk to him, but not apologize to him. I’ll just say a big thank you to him for letting me live through this great historical event and also thank him for what he did in the game. I am glad to meet him, I am glad that we are friends and colleagues, and I wish him all the best in the future, but no, I will not apologize, ”explained Francis Tiafou.
