Frances Tiafoe Twin Brother Franklin Tiafoe
Standing at 6’2 (1.88 m), Frances Tiafoe and his twin brother Franklin Tiafoe were born on January 20, 1998, in Hyattsville, Maryland. Franklin Asmiru Tiafoe attended Eleanor Roosevelt in Greenbelt and DeMatha High School. The twins grew up surrounded by tennis since their father worked at College Park Tennis Club.
“I remember just being small, hitting on the hitting wall a lot with my brother, running around talking to all the members,” he said. “It was a good life.”
Both loved playing tennis, Frances was more focused and able to divert all distractions, Franklin, however, couldn’t, was constantly grounded and unable to train with a coach; Franklin became more mature when he was at DeMatha.
He was a junior in high school when the University of Maryland offered him an opportunity to play there; sadly, Maryland cut their tennis program before he could say yes. Franklin subsequently received another to play Division III tennis from Salisbury University.
He didn’t get good grades and found himself unable to play; eventually, drop out of Salisbury University, enrolled at a community college close to his home, and trained at Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC), before his parents sent him USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida. Franklin, along with his parents, are undoubtedly Frances’ biggest fans.
The bond I have with my brother is unbreakable!! I thank god everyday I have a baby brother that inspires, loves and respects me so much. I will never switch up till the day I die. I remember sitting in the lobby of our academy in College Park with my brother imagining we were on tv playing the legends of the game and now seeing him bring it to reality is a dream come true. I love you deep baby bro ♥️ twin kings till we die.
