'My Body Shut Down,' Says Frances Tiafoe After US Open Heartbreak
Frances Tiafoe blamed his heartbreaking five-set US Open semi-final defeat to Taylor Fritz on cramping after his "body shut down". Tiafoe twice led in the match but the final set lasted just 27 minutes in which he was broken three times and collected just nine points. "I was the better player for sure tonight. In the fourth set, I just had some in-and-out cramps. I felt like my body just kind of shut down on me," said the 20th-ranked Tiafoe after his 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 defeat.
