The Match against Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech he had to in the fourth sentence interrupted, Tiafoe rested himself on the sidelines and continued to play soon after. However, the two-time US Open semi-finalist did not blame the intense heat for his weakness. “I lost all the electrolytes and water. It wasn’t like the tank food was the problem.. It wasn’t hot anymore,” he said, adding: “When I was throwing up, I felt like I could get out of here in two to five minutes.”
The fact that he took so long paid off – because after 4:08 hours, Tiafoe, seeded at number 17, won the match: The results were 7:6 (7:2), 6:3, 4:6, 6:7 (4:7), 6:3. How did he feel after the game? “Bad, it was scary.” The prize was moving to the second round, where Fabian Marozsan of Hungary now awaits Tiafoe.
