Taylor Fritz sends message to Frances Tiafoe after losing their final at the Halle Open

And with his 6-4, 6-4 victory in Germany, the 28-year-old also became the first American to win the Halle Open.

His superb run also included wins over Flavio Cobolli, Sho Shimabukuro, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniel Altmaier.

And Tiafoe has now received messages from two of his recent opponents following his successful run, much to his delight.

After losing their final after one hour and seven minutes, Fritz posted on his Instagram: “Thank you Halle.

“Congrats to [Frances Tiafoe] on the title, and it’s straight back to work on the grass.”

And having lost their quarterfinal, Auger-Aliassime wrote on his Instagram: “Great battle but wasn’t meant to be for me.

“Big credit to Big Foe for coming up too clutch.”

Tiafoe’s epic battle with the Canadian was particularly challenging, but the American eventually triumphed 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(14-12).

Tiafoe himself has also taken to social media to celebrate his success, which has delighted many of his fellow players.

He posted on his Instagram in German: “Thank you Halle,” and his fellow ATP player Jakub Mensik responded: “Let’s go bro! So happy for you!”

Many American WTA stars also commented, with Coco Gauff writing: “Congrats,” and Iva Jovic saying: “Let’s go.”

Tiafoe has incidentally already made a significant move following his success, having decided to withdraw from Mallorca.

He was scheduled to play against fellow American Ethan Quinn at the ATP 250 event, but has pulled out because of a lower back issue.

Fritz meanwhile can also be very satisfied with his week in Halle despite falling short against Tiafoe, having knocked out the likes of Ben Shelton and French Open champion Alexander Zverev.
