New Delhi, June 21 -- Frances Tiafoe captured the biggest title of his career on Sunday by beating Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the final of the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle. The victory makes the 28-year-old the first American to win this ATP 500 event in its history since 1993. Notably, Tiafoe had previously won all his tour titles at the ATP 250 level.

The Halle title guarantees Tiafoe a return to the Top 20. He will move up nine places to World No. 19 in Monday's PIF ATP Rankings after five weeks outside the top tier.
