When one last backhand by Nadal found the net, Tiafoe chucked his racket and put his hands on his head. Earlier in the tournament, he lost the first set of his first-round match. "It signifies that the years go by," Nadal said. Then he made it to the semifinals at Wimbledon in July before withdrawing from that tournament because of a torn abdominal muscle.

The Hyattsville, Md., native was sharp throughout four sets and became the first player to beat Nadal at a major this year.
She rose from 76th in the world at the end of that year to a career-high seventh this season after teaming up with David Witt, Venus Williams’s former longtime coach, and dedicating more time to the professional side of professional tennis: eating right, preparing thoroughly and taking care of her body. But in the next game, Nadal served two double faults and Tiafoe didn’t let the chance slip through his fingers. Am I ever going to be able to say I beat one of them? Today I was like, no, I’m going to do that,” Tiafoe said. “The biggest thing with things like that is the time I played him before, I got broken so early in each set,” Tiafoe said. Tiafoe’s victory denied Nadal the chance to expand his lead over Novak Djokovic (21) and Federer (20) in Grand Slam wins. His physical improvement has led to a He was the first man to beat Nadal at a major this year, with the Spaniard having won the Australian Open and the French Open. He had been practicing with a high level of intensity ahead of the tournament but couldn’t serve with the same ferocity because scar tissue on his abdomen limited his movement. When he clinched it by forcing a backhand error from Nadal, he chucked his racket toward his chair and placed his hands around his head.

“Medvedev was throwing a lot at him – I was saying Medvedev will play long rallies, test him physically and he’ll win most of those points. “If you stand well back, did you notice he started serving and volleying. And he trains and he’s in shape and the guy’s phenomenal.” “We hope he won’t do that because there’s a phrase, I think it’s worldwide - ‘better late than never’. “If I had won that, coming back for other tournaments, like 250s, I would have really struggled. “We got to try and just tough it out and keep pushing each other, keep being positive.

As he digested a bitter end to a great, complicated year, Nadal brushed off questions about his preparation and the abdominal injury that meant he only played in one tournament before the US Open. “But days will pass and I’ll keep going as I’ve done my whole life and I’m confident I have the inner strength to do it again.” So to see him post that, I was like, ‘Do I retweet it as soon as he sent it?’ I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to be cool and act like I didn’t see it and then retweet it three hours later.’” “It’s been a few months a little difficult in every way, this is the reality. Hype has followed him since he was a teenager but he has had to be patient in adulthood, watching as his contemporaries rise up above him in the rankings and waiting to experience such moments himself. Am I ever going to be able to say I beat one of them?’ Today I was like, ‘No, I’m going to do that.’ So now, it’s something to tell the kids, the grandkids, ‘Yeah, I beat Rafa.’ Hopefully I never play him again, but hope I end with a win.” The NBA star LeBron James, Tiafoe’s idol, was among those to pay tribute to Tiafoe’s display on Twitter. “My legs were like cement,” said Tiafoe of the lengthy 4-3 game. “I was telling my agent, I felt like the world stopped. I was already tearing. I’m beyond happy, I’m almost in tears,” said Tiafoe during his on-court interview. It also marks the first time since Wimbledon 2017 that Nadal has lost before the quarter-final stage of a grand slam.

Nick Kyrgios reached the US Open quarter-finals for the first time after a comprehensive victory over defending champion and world No 1 Daniil Medvedev.
Kyrgios had never played well in New York, his prior best result just a third round finish, yet now he is the clear favourite in his first quarter-final. He immediately threw in his worst service game and after four games, he was already on the verge of tanking the set. Medvedev had arrived at the US Open with the biggest target on his back but without the form to hold off his challengers. He returned brilliantly, deflecting 134mph serves to within centimetres of the baseline, and he enraged Kyrgios with his defence, soaking up all of the changes of pace, direction and spins. He had saved three set points with some audacious touches, but then as he generated his own, he was ground down by the immense durability and defence of Under immense pressure, Kyrgios gave the purest demonstration of his ball striking talent, exploding into a down he line backhand then immediately following it up with a delicate drop shot winner that set the tone for what was to come.
Nick Kyrgios stunned defending champion Daniil Medvedev 7-6(11), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 at the US Open on Sunday evening to reach the quarter-finals at Flushing ...
From the moment of his gaffe, Kyrgios dominated with his big serve and never allowed Medvedev to get comfortable. By rule, if a ball does not land on your side of the net and spin back to your opponent's side of the court, you are not allowed to touch the ball on that side. Kyrgios put a finger up in celebration, thinking he had just earned a spot on the highlight reel. The set got complicated as the Australian rediscovered his focus, but Kyrgios missed a neutral backhand long to allow his opponent to level the clash. Kyrgios put on the pressure from there, using his drop shot to great effect in the latter stages of the tie-break. Leading 1-0 and at 30/30 on Medvedev's serve, the 23rd seed rushed around the net and swatted away a ball that was not going to land anywhere close to the net. Kyrgios was unable to sustain his momentum, though, playing a poor opening service game in the second set. On the third of those set points, at 8/7, Kyrgios hit a tricky backhand volley that just clipped the singles line. Later in the first set, he would mix it up to give his big-serving opponent different looks.

Asked when it finally clicked in his head that he wanted to take a more serious approach to tennis, Kyrgios said, “I’m still trying to figure it out, honestly. I’m really glad I’m finally able to show you guys the work and the dedication, finally, it took me 27 years.” After long being one of the most talented yet under-performing players on the men’s tour — he had lost four times in the third round in New York and had never won a match in Arthur Ashe Stadium until last week — he is now combining mental and physical toughness with his vast reservoir of talent. “I’m just glad I’m finally able to show New York my talent, honestly,” Kyrgios said.

After looking to have earned a break point in the second game of the third set, when Medvedev couldn't return a ball, Kyrgios ran around the net celebrating and hit the ball away for a mock winner. Medvedev fumed at the umpire for not warning Kyrgios after the Australian, frustrated at going down an early break in the second set, went within centimetres of hitting a ball into the first row of the stands, and likely a spectator. It was probably the shot of the entire match and he duly nabbed the set when Medvedev sent a forehand wide after 63 minutes of quality tennis. He looked to have thrown away the first set after giving up a 4-2 lead and then a 4-1 advantage in the tiebreaker, not to mention threatening to hit the self-destruct button and engaging in an unnecessary, elongated exchange with Greek umpire Eva Asderaki-Moore.

The missed opportunities seemed to take a toll on Samsonova’s confidence as her errors mounted and Tomljanovic raced through the second set with two break of serves to reach the quarter-finals at a major for the third time. The Russian peppered the court with winners and quickly stacked up a 5-2 lead in the opening set.

Ajla Tomljanovic backed up her win over Serena Williams at the US Open, ending the 13-match winning streak of Liudmila Samsonova to reach the quarterfinals.
Jabeur is now the third African woman to make it into the US Open quarterfinals in the Open Era (since 1968) -- and the first from the northern part of the continent. Jabeur can also look back at her history against Tomljanovic for a boost. Kudermetova led 5-2 and was seemingly on her way to maintaining her undefeated record against the Tunisian. A backhand winner down the line wrapped up a dominant tiebreak for the 2022 Wimbledon finalist. But Jabeur kept her composure and pulled her way into a decisive first-set tiebreak with her trademark variety. She is reaching more milestones in New York, which will bolster her spirits further. "Just feels really good to back up a win that I think got a lot of attention," Tomljanovic said in her post-match press conference. But where Tomljanovic excelled was defending her second service -- she won 59 percent of those points compared to Samsonova's 40 percent success rate. Jabeur dragged herself out of trouble on numerous occasions with pristine serving at key moments. Tomljanovic is brimming with confidence at the majors after pulling that feat off twice successively. It was Jabeur's first win over Kudermetova in their four meetings. Tomljanovic also frustrated Samsonova with well-placed serves, which slid quickly into Samsonova’s shallow return position.
It was a dominant showing from the Australian, who fired 20 aces, 52 winners and won 75 per cent on his first serve. He will now face Karen Khachanov, who also ...
That is crazy.” “If they do it a second time I am not playing until somebody is out. “That should have been break point. I’ve never seen anything like that in all my time in tennis. In the end, Kyrgios played brilliantly to take out the third set 6-4, with Woodbridge declaring that he had Medvedev “on the ropes”. “We’ve seen him miss a couple of these forehands. You cannot cross the net. Kyrgios has basically leant in front of the net and that’s an illegal shot.” This could potentially get him that Grand Slam win.” It was judged to be a foul shot and Medvedev went on to hold in what could be a crucial point in the match.

Khachanov is a good player and has a 1-1 record against Kyrgios - both on hard courts - but the Russian has never been past the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam and is coming off a gruelling five-set match against Pablo Carreno-Busta.
