His match against tiafoe was a show. You were on the edge of shouting every point, either because your bf, Ben, won it, and because he lost it.
Two best buddies playing a fourth round at the us open facing each other, what could happen? A four hours show, five sets, the 13th seed against the 20th…
Tiafoe got his revenge. After being put down at 2023’s us open quarters and in Houston final, he won.
You were sad about it, Ben didn't focused nor played the Olympics to focus on the us open, and he lost fourth round. But when you saw him smiling and hugging Francis your heart melted, they were still buddies after all, they shared a sweet moment at the net and Ben head to the locker room.
But you know how he is, he even talked about it in the press conference, that loss lit a fire in him. Now he's going to train till his body can't take it anymore… he hates losing, and think that training three hours more than usual per day will make him win everything.
