Breaking News: Frances Tiafoe says what he found ‘insane’ about Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s relationship…see more

What ended up becoming an entertaining doubles match on the final day of the Laver Cup, Tiafoe has since been reflecting on his involvement as he approaches this year’s event in Berlin.

As one of three Americans representing Team World this time round, Tiafoe will be keen to re-produce the brutal thrashing of Team Europe that occurred last year.

The charismatic American has enjoyed a whirlwind summer of success after making the final in Cincinnati and the last four at the US Open. “One dude, Spanish, was barely speaking English when he first started.

Another dude, you think he’s American with how well he speaks English, and he’s so fly and does everything like they’re so different. But they just love each other and the respect they have for each other is insane.

“So that was probably the coolest thing ever. And I was like, man, it’s just cool to be here. Like, forget what even just happened. It’s cool to be here. Yeah.”

With the pair he describes as ‘Mount Rushmore athletes’ displaying such on and off-court synergy, the memory clearly remains etched into the American’s memory.
