Frances Tiafoe is through to the third round of the U.S. Open.
The recent Cincinnati Open runner-up achieved his career-best result on these same courts (US Open 2022 Semifinalist) and next eyes revenge against No. 13 seed Ben Shelton, who eliminated him from tournament contention in last year’s quarterfinal round.
As strong as Tiafoe’s game is at the moment, Shelton too has looked like a legitimate contender.
The 21-year-old possesses one of the most powerful serves on tour combined with a blistering forehand.
In his most recent match, he dominated opponent Roberto Bautista Agut with a barrage of 59 winners in just three sets.
