The 26-year-old player managed to completely reverse the course of the match, winning the next four games to claim the third set and force the decision in the following sets. The match lasted several hours of intense competition on the hard court of Flushing Meadows.
This semifinal represents Tiafoe's third advance to this stage of the New York tournament, demonstrating his consistency in the competition. His next opponent will be the winner of the match between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev, which is still being decided.
