Frances Tiafoe vies for his first-ever finals appearance at an ATP Master 1000 tournament on Sunday as he takes on Holger Rune of Denmark in the semifinals of the 2024 Cincinnati Open. Tiafoe, who made it in the semifinals and quarterfinals of the last two US Open championships, flexes his muscle again on the hard court by reaching the final four of the Cincinnati Masters. The 26-year-old American has beaten several notable names on his way to the finals, including Wimbledon Open semifinalist and Olympic men’s singles semifinalist Lorenzo Musetti 6-3 6-2, and Poland’s No.1 Hubery Hurkacz, who pulled before their quarterfinal match due to a calf injury. Holger Rune has also had an impressive run to the final four, beating Matteo Berrettini of Italy 2-6 6-1 6-4, Nuno Borges of Portugal 6-3 7-6(8), Gael Monfils of France 3-6 6-3 6-4 and Jack Draper of Great Britain 6-4 6-2. Rune has a history of winning at the Masters 1000 level, winning the 2022 Paris Masters by beating Novak Djokovic 3–6, 6–3, 7–5.
