Is the person ready, it is Frances Tiafoe

What’s going on? How does it feel like to win? What is it like to be out there? How did you go from the Open to the Open?

At this moment in your career, what is it like? You have been profiled in magazines. You were in Vanity Fair. There are N.B.A. stars in your box. It’s got to be pretty wild.

Yeah, I talk about it all the time. That saying that your life can change overnight is 100 percent true. After I beat Rafa Nadal at last year’s Open, I felt like I was looked at totally different. You don’t realize how crazy it is, because you’re doing it. I think afterward, going home and buying little things at CVS and ladies are like, “Oh my god, I can’t believe this is you.” It has been crazy. It’s definitely not meant for everybody. It’s definitely a life shift.

What do you want to do when you’re not your best friend? The most important thing that you’ll do is to take your time

It is important that you have people around you. Do not really live by that, it is something everybody says. A lot of people are going to want to take your time. All of a sudden, everyone wants to be your best friend. The famous guy wants to hang out, and he can do it at that time, but you maybe need to not do that. And I think the biggest thing for me is learning to say no. I have to do a better job of that. I’ve seen it eat a lot of people up. It is likely that it reaches people’s heads.

It was an opportunity for me to have a sit-down withMatt Damon, who I am a big fan of. But I can’t do it, can’t go. I got to play a tournament. And it’s like, ahhh.

You know, like, going on “The Shop” with LeBron — stuff that I’ve wanted to do, but scheduling just hasn’t quite worked out. And then obviously parties. You’ll get invited, but you probably should play a tournament. The reason people know you? You should probably keep up with that.
