Tiafoe: "We must convince ourselves that we can beat Sinner and not create an aura around him"

Frances Tiafoe offered a unique perspective at Roland Garros 2026 regarding Jannik Sinner's dominance in current tennis. When asked about it, the American showcased his competitive pride and wanted to send a subliminal message to all his professional counterparts. 

"He is an amazing player, that's for sure, but I'm not going to sit here and further pedestalize him. I believe the rest of us players need to mentally convince ourselves that beating him is possible. Right now, we are all creating a kind of aura around him, and that also has an influence. Of course, he's in a different dimension and achieving monumental feats, but the top players in the circuit have the level to compete with him. The key is to break that mental barrier," he commented.
