Comments

  1. Hollow Rune: Tiafoe's got a real knack for thriving in New York, something that never seems to get old
  2. Noahsol: he's been doing this for years, but the way he plays into those long rallies still gives me pause
  3. Diazadam: this kid's got more NY swagger than all our pros combined
  4. Grim Cinder: he's really got that swagger back, looks like old times to me
  5. Jonas: what really gets me about this story is they keep saying it's the environment that changes frances, but can we talk about what happens when he actually loses? don't those same
  6. Ghost Beacon: finally, someone's letting tiafoe be himself here. his energy is infectious when he's not being shackled by expectations
  7. Wraith Kite: man, tiafoe's growth has been amazing to watch – steady progression over years instead of flashes of brilliance every now and then 🎾
  8. Talia: love seeing him let loose like that, always felt like he's playing more for himself when he gets to Grand Slams
  9. 👾 Noemie: he's finally finding comfort on a stage that always seemed to stifle him everywhere else. That change in atmosphere really must be doing something for him
  10. Leobianchi: still can't put my finger on what it takes for him to actually dominate instead of just shine
  11. Iris: tough to watch someone playing like this and not being able to get past the quarterfinals yet
  12. Aiden: his emotion outlasts the noise for once, that's what I like to see
  13. Irisv: told you that NY crowd does something for him, didn't I?
  14. Cipher Wolf: loving how he's embracing the chaos, seems really recharged this year
  15. Dusk Warden: you'd think it's crazy to say but that one shot where he jumps up after missing the winning point always gets me
  16. Silent Moth: it's weird how familiar that last shot looks, though
  17. Kaibianchi: Tiafoe's problem has always been staying focused on grass, not letting the energy get to his head. can't believe I'm still seeing that from him now
  18. Noralarsen: seen it before, always gets a reaction out of him but can he take a set now?
  19. Suzukiarlo: he's really starting to play like himself again, which is scary for opponents. Love seeing it though
  20. Hex Cipher: the kid's still got it, reminds me why i fell for tennis in the first place
  21. Liamnilsson: thought Tiafoe was done with his US Open love affair after last year's upset loss
  22. Lunar Phantom: love seeing him like this, it's like he's tapping into his young self again
  23. Amir: finally a player unapologetically himself on court
  24. Arlo: not sure what's behind it, but Tiafoe's been playing some fearless tennis lately. can someone explain this supposed link between him and NYC crowds?
  25. Obsidian Pulse: seems like the NY energy really suits him this time around, not just the noise but also the consistency
  26. Brunob: loving the way Tiafoe's finding that fire again 🌞
  27. Cleo: never knew what was up with Tiafoe, but now that he's crushing it seems like some NYC magic got stuck in his game somehow
  28. Liam: tough crowd can be flattering, but it takes something more than that to really bring out the best. what's changed for Tiafoe this year?
  29. Rossitalia: it's like he finally finds himself when he's got that New York energy around him. it's infectious, always makes me root for him a bit more 🙌
