Frances Tiafoe faced Lorenzo Musetti in the Cincinnati Open quarterfinal round. He moved quickly. He maintained the pressure during the entire contest. Tiafoe also hosted a special event off the court. He put together a surprise birthday event in Cincinnati for his girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield. He planned the event while getting ready for his match.
The surprise worked. Broomfield was moved to tears when she discovered the setup. She had surgery a few days before the party. Tiafoe handled the planning while taking part in the tournament. He handled both commitments at once.
