The American tennis star, who originally hails from Maryland, booked a spot in the third round of the Grand Slam and showed his love for one NBA star while doing so."It's funny — I was actually trying to wear a Mikal Bridges because he was coming to the match today and he texted me that he was coming to the match, but I'm just not a morning person, so I put it on and then when I took it off to go practice, I was, like, God, Jalen,” Tiafoe said.
"I definitely want to play against him — he's very much like me in how excited and energetic he is on the court and has such a big game and big shots and serves big and gets the crowd going," Tiafoe said."He's young, funny, cracks jokes. Just about as immature as I am." "The quality of U.S. men's tennis is 100% on the rise," Shelton said."This is the most guys that we've had in this competitive position in a while. Everybody wants that big, next Grand Slam or next big moment for an American star, but I think the gradual improvement and progression is what's really going to put Americans more towards the top of the game."Currently, the world top 20 consists of five American players — No. 20 Tiafoe, No. 16 Sebastian Korda, No. 14.
