Frances Tiafoe will now reach world ranking #10 after winning the Stuttgart Open - His first ever grass court final. It was a great match to watch, brilliant shots from both players. The crowd was really behind Struff, obviously. The championship point was fantastic.

Big Foe’s been one of my favorites for years, so happy to see him hit the top ten! He’s been toiling in the top 30 for a while now.

I’m proper chuffed for him. First grass final as well. Totally forgot the Rothesay finals were today too so I missed Murray and Boulter win! What a bad Brit, lol. If I tried to watch everything I’d get nothing done.

Large Adversary.

Tiafoe has always been a high ceiling player who could challenge the best on his good days. It looks like he's made some strides in his mental game and his consisteny has improved. It's great to see the hard work paying off with his second title of the year.

Looks promising for Wimbledon, especially with defeating the home favourite!
