US Open: Rafael Nadal stunned by Frances Tiafoe in fourth round
Nadal went into this match with a 22-0 record in Grand Slams this year, having won the Australian Open and French Open titles before withdrawing from Wimbledon after his quarter-final victory with an abdominal injury.
Having changed his ball toss to protect the injury that ended his Wimbledon campaign, Nadal looked shorn of speed and confidence on his serve, and was broken by Tiafoe at 3-3 in the opener. The third set mirrored the first, Tiafoe breaking for a 4-3 lead with a fine backhand winner, and the American delighted his home crowd as he closed it out with an ace.
Despite the defeat, Nadal could still move to the top of the men's rankings after the tournament following defending championSpain's Carlos Alcaraz and Norway's Casper Ruud would need to reach the final at least to have a chance to become the world number one.
