I’ve seen him growing up. I’ve played against him, practiced against him. You know what he’s going to do. Sometimes it’s too good what he does. But I’m ready. I mean, I’m excited. I’m excited. We’re going to play on Ashe.
Yeah, the best court in tennis. I’ll be ready to give my best stuff,” Tiafoe said.

Match his intensity from the first point to the last. You can’t really have any dips. He takes advantage of it. How good his forehand is, right? Once he gets ahold of his forehand, it’s tough to get him out of that pattern.
I’m just going to have to be really aggressive and try to make him play to me, not me play to him,” Tiafoe explained. Tiafoe, 24, has been through to the US Open last-16 for the third year in a row. In the last two years, Tiafoe exited the US Open in the last-16.
Now, a difficult task is ahead of Tiafoe, who is hoping to reach the US Open quarterfinal for the first time in his career. In his previous two matches versus Nadal, Tiafoe didn’t win a single set. It remains to be seen if Tiafoe can beat Nadal for the first time.
