WATCH: How Frances Tiafoe Predicted His First Grass Title & Top 10 Breakthrough In 2023

Frances Tiafoe took part in an ATP feature, in which players were asked to predict some things about the upcoming grass season, and he correctly called himself winning a maiden trophy on grass.

Tiafoe has always been considered a very talented player who has yet to fully establish his playing style.

"He was part of a feature for the ATP where he and fellow colleagues predicted some things about the grass season as well as the 2023 season overall. Asked which player would win his maiden grass trophy, the American didn't hesitate a second, saying:

When asked about a Top 10 breakthrough, Tiafoe provided the same response as he did to some other questions.
