Tiafoe tops Medvedev in straight sets at US Open
- On Sunday, American Frances Tiafoe defeated former champion Daniil Medvedev 7-6, 6-4, 7-6 to reach the U.S. Open quarter-finals, finally breaking through against an all-too-familiar foe.
- Before Sunday, the American trailed Medvedev 1-6 in career head-to-head matches, with his only previous victory occurring at the Laver Cup team competition. He cracked the code by repeatedly striking near the net with surgical precision.
- "Daniil has been so good, he's beaten me so many times. This is the first time I've beaten him in a regular match," said Tiafoe. He survived a tense final-set battle with precisely placed backhand volleys.
- Compatriot Alex Michelsen awaits Tiafoe in the next round. The American basked in cheers after forcing the Russian into a decisive error on match point to secure the victory.
- Unbeaten through 10 appearances at Louis Armstrong Stadium, Tiafoe continues to dominate the venue at Flushing Meadows. While it plays second fiddle to Arthur Ashe, the court has clearly earned the charismatic American fan favorite's affection.
