Look of the Week: Zendaya aces two looks for Challengers premiere, Venus, Genie & more hit LA red carpet

In a teaser for the segment, produced at this year’s French Open, Carillo asks Tiafoe how it felt to receive his credential for the second Grand Slam of the season.

“It felt unbelievable… definitely didn’t feel quite right,” Tiafoe said.

As Carillo points out, Tiafoe—at 19—is the youngest player in the Top 100. Fans around the world are starting to recognize him, and his fellow pros—among them, world No. 1 Andy Murray—are noticing him as well.

Tiafoe’s faced off against Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro this year in matches that had their share of competitive moments. And even though he fell in the first round of the French Open to Fabio Fognini, he pushed the veteran to five sets.

Before Roland Garros, Tiafoe was on a tear on a clay, winning two ATP Challengers in a row, including one in Sarasota, Fla., over fellow American Tennys Sandgren.
