Tiafoe’s Epic Comeback & Sportsmanship | Pro Tennis News

Frances Tiafoe pulled off one of the most dramatic comebacks in US Open history, rallying from two sets down and a break in the third to defeat his young friend Alex Michelsen in five sets — including a tense fifth-set tiebreaker. The 22-year-old Michelsen, who had served for the match and held a lead in the final set, fell just short of his first Grand Slam quarterfinal. Afterward, the emotional on-court moment between the rivals — Tiafoe offering words of encouragement and even joking he’d be retired by the time Michelsen reached those heights — showcased his legendary sportsmanship and heart. Now, Tiafoe advances to the semifinals, set to face the winner of Alcaraz vs. Shelton — another massive test as he continues his unforgettable run in New York.
