BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A year ago, Deion Sanders made the matchup with fellow coach Matt Rhule and Nebraska personal. This season, there’s nothing but praise.

Beating him would make me happy, but more importantly, it would put Tiafoe in his first Grand Slam final.

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. There’s a certain joy that comes with being known as a person who not only watches but enjoys any and all manner of Black cinema. I’m a person whose algorithm-suggested movies (regardless of platform) typically star people for whom IMDb is more likely to be a street name or song title than a place to warehouse film credits. I’m not saying that I don’t watch high-brow films — shouts out to Tyler Perry — but I also enjoy the kind of movies that pair well with low-vibrational plates.
