pldquo;After 2-all I felt he was a little off,rdquo; Tiafoe said. ldquo;He came back pretty quick [from the surgery] and to make two quarter-finals [in Montreal and Cincinnati] shows what a great player he is. I hope he'll be right for the Open./p

pTiafoe seemed surprised when told he had reached 200 wins, but said, "That's big. I had no idea, but that's a big milestone. Hopefully it won't take too long to get my next 200."/p

pAsked how many wins he believed he could achieve in his career, Tiafoe said, "Guys who get to 500 wins have had a really good career. I'm not trying to be like those guys with 700. I'm definitely not getting there. But if I could get to 500 that would be pretty cool."/p

pTiafoe has moved up four places this week to No. 23 in the PIF ATP Rankings and will move inside the Top 20 for the first time since March should he reach Monday's final./p
