Tiafoe beats Tsitsipas to reach Quarterfinals

The Vienna Open began largely as last week’s European Open did. Andy Murray got off to a great start by toppling a high seed in Hubert Hurkacz before losing out in his next match, Jannik Sinner rolled through his first two matches, and the number 2 seed has appeared as the odds on favorite the whole way. The similarities ended when unseeded player Frances Tiafoe engaged in a wild three set match against top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. It was rough seas early for Tiafoe who surrendered the first set 3-6, but he rallied to take the second 6-4. The story of the match however came in the third. Down 0-3, Tiafoe won 5 straight games and finished off the top seed with 6-4 win in the third set. The outstanding upset presents a wide open path for second seed Alexander Zverev to take the title if he can get through a high caliber Quarterfinal match against sixth seed Felix Auger Aliassime.
