Tiafoe captures first ATP title

AFP, MIAMI: Wild card Frances Tiafoe captured his first ATP Tour title Sunday, defeating Peter Gojowczyk in the Delray Beach Open final to become the youngest American to win a ATP Tour title in 15 years.

The 20-year-old Tiafoe toppled the German in straight sets, winning 6-1, 6-4 as he continued his successful start to the 2018 season which has seen him beat the likes of Juan Martin Del Potro, Chung Hyeon and Denis Shapovalov.

“I can't believe it,” said Tiafoe. “If you had asked me 10 years ago if I could win a title at 20 I would have laughed. It's unbelievable.”

His win marks the youngest by an American since Andy Roddick won the 2002 Houston tournament at age 19.

“I got a lot of love this week. I am really happy I got over that line,” he said.

“It is going to be a good night. The next couple of days I am going to enjoy this.”
