Frances Tiophoe. The twice open US semi -finalist is the gift he continues to give.
On behalf of his Foundation, Tieafoe gave a slight growth and tennis student at the University of Louisville, Russell Lokko, a $ 30,000 scholarship over two years through his Frances Tifies Fund.
Mimi will cover Lokko’s gap in the front of the scholarship as he continues his education in Louisville.
Tiephae, who received the ATP Humanitarian Award of ATP in 2020, launched his foundation, Frances Tifoe’s end, in unison with Usta in 2023. He surprised Lokko with the news during a special scene in Cincinnati Open.
“That’s great, I’m excited to bring it out,” Tieafoe said, according to ATP. “To see how ecstatic he was with the ability to care for his little and old career, is a big deal.
“I am very excited. I am really blessed for Frances to give me that control,” Lokko said through ATP. “I will remove my parents a lot and help me stay focused on what I want to do in college and spend it.
“Growing up, Frances has always been a role model for me. People like me, we don’t see people like us around the game often, so it’s just inspiring to have that role model and believe you can do it yourself.”
Here’s more about Lokko, by Usta:
Lokko grew up playing Tennis in TRENTON, a community organization part of the National Tennior Tennis & Learning Network (NNIC) of the same network that supported the Early TIFOE training by Junior Tennis Center (JTCC) in its city of College Park, MD. Snyder, the Nazl network is made up of over 270 organizations across the country using tennis and education to prepare young people from communities under resources for the challenges and opportunities of life.
