Tiafoe made his Olympic debut in Tokyo, and wants to play again in Paris. “I’m super excited for Paris,” he told NBC Sports last year.“Obviously, Tokyo was an odd year for everyone, but I think Paris is gonna be a great experience with everything open. I want to be in the Olympic Village, I want that experience, and I want to really compete for gold. Obviously, I’m sitting in a totally different place in my career now than I was sitting at when I went to Tokyo, but being an Olympian is something special and something I take very seriously, and something I really want on the resume of hopefully getting a medal. So, we’ll see how that goes. Obviously, it’s a long way away and me and Paris don’t have a great relationship on clay, but I’ll make that work.”
