Frances Tiafoe secured a victory over Alexei Popyrin at the US Open, advancing to the quarter-finals with a 6-4, 7-6(3), 2-6, 6-3 win. This marks Tiafoe as the first American to reach the Men's Singles quarter-finals in three consecutive editions of the US Open since Andy Roddick from 2006 to 2008. Tiafoe will face No.9 seed Grigor Dimitrov in the next round. Despite a strong start from Popyrin, who took the third set 6-2, Tiafoe's resilience in the fourth set secured his place in the next stage of the tournament.
