American professional tennis player Frances Tiafoe earned a big name after his recent run at the Vienna Open 2021. The World No.38 player stunned some quite big players, including Stefanos Tsitsipas, Jannik Sinner, and Diego Schwartzman to reach the finals of the tournament. Even though Alexander Zverev defeated him in the finals, the American led a great campaign.
Just like his professional career, Frances Tiafoe is doing really well even in his personal life. He is currently dating another tennis player, Ayan Broomfield.
