America’s Frances Tiafoe, who is currently participating in the ATP Houston tournament, appeared in a chat show hosted by Australia’s Nick Kyrgios . In that show, the 26-year-old recounted his struggling days.
When Kyrgios asked the American how he ended up being one of the best players in the world, the latter narrated a scene from his childhood where his father used to work as a maintenance worker. Tiafoe said his father, Frances Sr., encouraged him and his twin brother to take up the sport.
