Tiafoe, who said he felt that he was playing like Roger Federer, is playing some of the best tennis of his career, having just reached the US Open semifinals for the first time after making the final in Cincinnati.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The American entered the match facing a 0-5 ATP head-to-head deficit against Medvedev but did not let that intimidate him. He played freely in the critical moments and had a blast on court even when losing points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After one Medvedev shot drew Tiafoe to his side of the court, the American did his signature sprinkling celebration to compliment his opponent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHonestly I just started having fun and laughing with my team, laughing with my team over there and here. Just having a bit of fun and started finding my rhythm,\u201d Tiafoe said in an on-court interaction. \u201cThe courts are obviously much slower than I\u2019m used to playing on, so it\u2019s tough playing Daniil on this court. But after the second set, midway into the second and in the tie-break, I felt like I was Roger Federer, honestly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Alcaraz performed nearly flawlessly to defeat Shelton 6-4, 6-4, squaring the Laver Cup at 4-4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
