One of the home crowd's favorites, Tiafoe has two titles to his name this season — the Houston Open and the Stuttgart Open. His best outcome on hardcourts in 2023 has been a semifinal finish at the BNP Paribas Open, where he lost to Daniil Medvedev.
The American is in fine form and has been performing consistently, with a 30-11 win-loss record this season, and is placed at his career-high ranking of World No. 10.
He will have to overcome the likes of Taylor Fritz and Gael Monfils in a bid for the title. He could also be facing the defending champion in both singles and doubles format of the game, Nick Kyrgios, who is yet to confirm his participation.
