Tiafoe takes the title in Delray Beach for his first ever ATP tourney title Congrats to Frances.
Tiafoe fell on his back in celebration and cried as he hugged his father.
"Now I'm in a position not only to help myself, but help fund my family," Tiafoe said. "It's an unbelievable place to be in and it's bigger than tennis."
Tiafoe's parents moved from Sierra Leone to the United States looking for a better life. The elder Tiafoe ended up working as a maintenance worker at a Maryland tennis club where the American-born Frances fell in love with the game. His twin brother, Franklin, wasn't interested in the sport.
