Tiafoe Upsets Auger-Aliassime; Paul Stuns Zverev In Cincinnati
Frances Tiafoe: Frances Tiafoe notched a milestone victory at the Cincinnati Open when he upset second seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 6-4 to advance to his second Masters 1000 quarter-final of the season.
Having also reached the last eight in Miami, it is the first time in his career that Tiafoe has reached multiple Masters 1000 quarter-finals in a single season.
Tiafoe capitalised on Auger-Aliassime's uncharacteristic lapses throughout the clash, with the Canadian committing 37 unforced errors to Tiafoe's 16. Despite landing only 44 per cent (28/64) of his first serves, according to ATP Stats, Tiafoe stamped his authority from the baseline to return to the last eight in Cincinnati for the first time since 2024, when he reached the final.
