Rafael Nadal US Open 2022 Cup Dream Crushed by Frances Tiafoe
SHARE

Rafal Nadal thirst to win the US Open 2022 came crumbling down as he lost to spirited American Frances Tiafoe. Frances stunned everyone, and went on to beat the second seed Rafa Nadal 6-4 4-6 6-4 6-3 in the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Monday. Frances moves in to the quarter final along with @CocoGauff @JLPegula

This defeat is an unsual one for Nadal. For he first time this year that Nadal, who had been chasing a record-extending 23rd Grand Slam title, has been beaten in a grand slam event.

Tiafoe covered his face with his hands as he soaked up the cheers from a packed house at Arthur Ashe Stadium after breaking Nadal for a fifth time to claim arguably the biggest upset of the tournament.

“I don’t even know what to say right now, I’m beyond happy, I’m almost in tears,” Tiafoe, seeded 22, said in an on-court interview.

“I can’t believe it. He is definitely one of the greatest of all time. I played unbelievable tennis today but I really don’t know what happened.”

While Tiafoe did indeed play sublime tennis, he also benefited from an uncharacteristically poor serving and returning performance from Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard produced nine double faults and hit just 33 winners to Tiafoe’s 48.

With the win, Tiafoe snapped Nadal’s streak of 17 straight majors where he reached the quarter-finals or better. The Spaniard had triumphed at the Australian and French Opens this year before withdrawing with an abdominal injury before his semi-final at Wimbledon.

After the match, Nadal made no excuses for his performance amid suffocating humidity in New York.

“I can find excuses but for me it’s simple: when you don’t play at the level that you should… you can’t win,” he told reporters. “My opponent was the better player”.

Tiafoe, 24, was born in Maryland to parents from Sierra Leone and took up tennis while his father worked as a custodian at Junior Tennis Champions Center in suburban Washington DC.

After the match he donned a hoodie that listed all of Serena Williams’ 23 Grand Slam victories on the back. The trailblazing Williams likely played her final match of her career at the tournament last week.
