Frances Tiafoe, huh? He’s been shaking things up. Just recently, he said goodbye to his coach, Wayne Ferreira. Instead, he’s now teamed up with Coco Gauff’s ex-coach.
Tiafoe’s been on the radar for a while. Folks have been calling him talented for years. But it wasn’t until recently that he started to live up to the hype.
Last year, he had a breakthrough. He put on some impressive performances, especially at the US Open. He came so close to the final, it was a nail-biter.
This year, he’s been on a roll. He’s been playing consistently well, which is a change. At one point, he even cracked the Top 10. A few years back, that would’ve seemed impossible. His game was all over the place.
A lot of his recent success is down to his hard work. But his partnership with Wayne Ferreira, a former player, also played a big part. They were a solid team, and Tiafoe started to look like a real contender under Ferreira’s guidance.
But, all good things come to an end, right? After three years, they’ve decided to go their separate ways. Tiafoe took to social media to announce it. He thanked his former coach and reflected on their time together.
His new coach is Diego Moyano. If you’re into tennis, you’ll know the name. He’s a former player too. Most recently, he was coaching Coco Gauff until April this year.
Moyano’s also worked with Kevin Anderson and US Tennis. He’s coached a lot of American players, including Tiafoe. So, they’re not strangers. They’ve got history.
