Tiafoe's season thus far has been off to a positive start, as he entered the New York Open with 9 career Tour-level wins, and has since notched 6 wins in the last two weeks alone. Should 20-year-old Tiafoe win the title, he will be the youngest American to win a title since 19-year-old Andy Roddick won at 2002 Houston, and he will be the first #NextGenATP American to win a title. Tiafoe will be the fourth consecutive American opponent standing in Gojowczyk's path to his second career title, after the German defeated John Isner, Reilly Opelka and Steve Johnson en route to the final. The last American to defeat Gojowczyk at any level was Tiafoe, who claimed a win at the 2016 Winnetka Challenger event. Since then, Gojowczyk has held an 8-match Tour-level win streak against American opponents (14 at all levels). The American duo of Jack Sock and Jackson Withrow have stormed through the Delray Beach doubles draw this week to earn a spot in their first final together.
