Nick Kyrgios’ potential path to a maiden grand slam final became smoother on Tuesday when the world No.3 and four-time champion Rafael Nadal fell to American 22nd seed Frances Tiafoe. usopen
Frances Tiafoe has ended Rafael Nadal’s 22-match winning streak at grand slam tournaments by beating the 22-time major champion 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the US Open’s fourth round on Monday .
He is the youngest American man to get that far at the US Open since Andy Roddick in 2006, but this was not a case of a one-sided crowd backing one of its own. Nadal is about as popular as it gets in tennis and heard plenty of support in Arthur Ashe Stadium as the volume raised after the retractable roof was shut in the fourth set.
Earlier, Jessica Pegula became the second American after Coco Gauff to move into the quarter-finals after the eighth seed beat Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-2. Swiatek was given a mighty scare by little-known Jule Niemeier before the Polish top seed finally handed the 108th-ranked German a 2-6, 6-4, 6-0 reality check.The 21-year-old, who collected her second Roland Garros title amid a 37-match winning streak earlier this year, barely looked like the world’s best player as she sprayed the court with errors to surrender the opening set.
