Tiafoe tops Medvedev in straight sets at US Open
The 11th-seeded Frances Tiafoe defeated Daniil Medvedev 7-6 (7/1), 6-4, 7-6 (8/6) to reach the quarter-finals for the fourth time in five years.
American tennis player Frances Tiafoe triumphed over former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev in a straight-sets victory at the US Open Championships. The 11th-seeded Tiafoe, who has never lost in Louis Armstrong Stadium, defeated Medvedev 7-6 (7/1), 6-4, 7-6 (8/6) to advance to the quarter-finals for the fourth time in five years.
The home crowd provided enthusiastic support for Tiafoe, who praised the electric atmosphere. Medvedev, who had won six of their previous seven encounters, including a straight-set win in the same round of the 2020 US Open, struggled in 2026, failing to progress past the round of 16 at any Grand Slam.
