New Delhi. Frances Tiafo made it to the quarter -finals of the US Open Tennis Tournament for the first time in Rafael Nadal’s Grand Slam competitions. Tiafo defeated Nadal 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the fourth round played at Arthur Ace Stadium. Tiafo was overwhelmed by this victory. Tiafo is currently 24 years old and has been given 22nd preference in the US Open. He is the youngest American player to reach the quarter -finals of this competition after Andy Rodik (2006).
After the victory over Nadal, Tiafo said, “I felt as if the world had stopped. I did not hear anything for a minute. ”Tiafo will now face Andre Rublev, who defeated the seventh seed Cameron Nori 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Nadal won the Australian Open in January this year and the French Open in June. He then made it to the semi -finals of Wimbledon in July but he was withdrawn from the tournament due to stretch in the abdomen.
Four -time champion Nadal in the US Open was followed by only one tournament. Top seed in the women’s category, IGA Swiatek, after losing the first set, made a spectacular comeback and defeated Jul Nameer 2-6, 6-4, 6-0. She has reached the quarter -finals at Flushing Meadows for the first time.
Swiatek will now face the eighth seed Jessica Pegula, who easily defeated two-time Wimbledon Champion Petra Quitova 6-3, 6-2.
