can go all the way at the Australian Open, believes Frances Tiafoe. In a press conference after his straight-set loss to the Spaniard, Tiafoe said: Why not? I think the games definitely heading that way.
Rafa and these cats aint getting any younger, you know what Im saying? Look, I mean, were playing good, playing good. Put us in the right situation at the right time, well take it. Granted, I didnt tonight, but its coming.
Tiafoe also liked the Rod Laver Arena a lot: I thought it was cool. Saw the eyes close at one point. Dont fall asleep on me. I was about ready to say something, you know what Im saying? No, man, it was cool.
It was cool that he was out there. Yeah, I mean, hes a legend of the sport, and so is Rafa. Frances Tiafoe felt amazed at facing Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open quarter-finals. The American lost in straight sets, 6-3 6-4 6-2, but he still enjoyed his unique experience.
I dont even know what I would say to you, man. Its crazy, Tiafoe said. I didnt think any of this was going to happen. If you would have asked me during the off-season, Youre going to play Rafa in the quarterfinals on Rod Laver with Rod Laver watching, I probably would have laughed.
Its unbelievable. Im just happy this didnt happen on my birthday. But to be in a quarterfinal at a slam, knowing I can do this, thats the biggest thing. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
