Coco Gauff drew inspiration from Frances Tiafoe's comeback against Alex Michelsen when she faced match point against Mirra Andreeva. Tiafoe had trailed two sets to love against Michelsen but fought back to win in a thrilling match that lasted four hours and 38 minutes.
Tiafoe's victory means he reaches his third US Open semi-final in five years, where he will play either Carlos Alcaraz or Ben Shelton. After the match, Tiafoe praised Michelsen, saying he was "a hell of a player" and could have easily won.
According to Adom Online, Tiafoe triumphed in a 10-point tie-break in the final set to win 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-3 7-6 (10-6).
