Frances Tiafoe is making his Nitto ATP Finals debut.

Tiafoe has enjoyed not only a resurgent season, but the best of his career. He won the title in Halle and also made finals in Cincinnati and Acapulco.

The Maryland native this year reached his second ATP Masters 1000 final, and both of them have come in Cincinnati in the past three years (2024 and 2026). Tiafoe earned three Top-15 wins at the event, where he defeated Learner Tien, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti.

New York proved a happy hunting ground again for the home favourite, who reached the US Open semi-finals for the third time. Tiafoe upset 2021 champion and fellow Turin qualifier Daniil Medvedev en route to the last four.

It is the second consecutive year in which two Americans have qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals after Shelton and Fritz last year. Before that, it had not happened since Andy Roddick and James Blake qualified in 2006.
