The American is nevertheless aware of his talent and potential and stated in an interview with the media that he will change his focus and mentality next year. Such potential would be a shame if it wasn’t used, and it was precisely his potential for great things that Andy Roddick talked about during the Served podcast.
Frances Tiafoe received advice from Andy Roddick about Grand Slam tournaments and drew a parallel between Tiafoe and Anisimova, a female tennis player who excelled at Grand Slam tournaments this year.
“Rewind to a year ago. When she says, ‘I want to win a major,’ we go, yeah, you do. Everybody wants to win a major.”
We will get a lot of benefit from it, but there is still so much work to be done. There is so much space where you are and you can legitimately be a contender every time you enter a tournament.
Contemporary. She is a contender every week she plays. I think, oddly enough, Amanda is a great test case for Frances.
We know Frances’ advantage is the end of Grand Slams. He’s done it three times. But Amanda now plays semis or finals every week. She made it to the World Tour Finals.” – said Roddick.
Reset
Andy Roddick went on to say that Tiafoe needs to find a rhythm and show consistency. Roddick emphasized that Tiafoe not only has tennis skills, but also human qualities, explaining that his smile is never fake and that Frances has the charisma that many wish he had.
Ultimately, Roddick puts the spotlight on Frances Tiafoe’s mental fatigue, noting that he needs a reset. That could be the start of something new for the 28-year-old.
We don’t need to waste too much time on his ambitions as the American certainly works hard, but it is clear that consistency is his biggest problem.
