Tennis sensation Frances Tiafoe is very well known for his explosive and dynamic playing style, particularly his forehand shot during Round 16 of the Mexican Open 2025. Despite such a stunning shot, the American star suffered defeat against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
However, the 27-year-old tennis player's forehand is characterized by a unique arm motion that generates heavy topspin, allowing him to hit shots with remarkable angles and power. In this game against Fokina, Tiafoe was seen using it to great effect. His ability to execute the forehand spin showcased his ability to create an incredibly acute angle in the game.
Meanwhile, the game itself was highly anticipated, with two tennis stalwarts known for their entertaining and aggressive styles. Fokina, well known for his own flair and ability to hit tricky returns, presented a big challenge. However, Tiafoe's ability to dictate the game with his forehand was a key factor in the game.

“We go into the suite, and the first person I see in the suite is Taylor (Swift). And I’m like, ‘Ok, try to act like you’ve been here before. I’m not even saying I’m a Swiftie, but I, like, appreciate greatness so much and seeing how cool she was, she’s got my ultimate respect. First of all, she was very knowledgeable about what I was doing. She was like,'Man, we wanted to watch you play in the final in the Open,’ and ‘Trav loves you,’ and this and that,’” he told the ATP Tour social media team.
