American Frances Tiafoe advanced to the quarter-finals of the US Open on Sunday after a straight-sets victory over Daniil Medvedev. Tiafoe, the 11th seed, secured the win with scores of 7-6 (7/1), 6-4, 7-6 (8/6) at Louis Armstrong Stadium. This marks the fourth time in five years that the American has reached the final eight at Flushing Meadows. Medvedev, the 2021 tournament champion, struggled to regain momentum after previously winning six of seven career matchups against Tiafoe. While Medvedev recorded two ATP titles earlier this year, his loss on Sunday continues a streak of failing to progress past the round of 16 in any Grand Slam tournament during 2026. Tiafoe, a two-time semi-finalist, maintains an undefeated record at the Louis Armstrong venue.
