Command Analysis

Frances Tiafoe

USA

Frances Tiafoe confidently reached the fourth round of the US Open. Before the start of the New York Major, the American tennis player delivered good performances in Atlanta and Washington, where he reached the semifinals and quarterfinals, respectively. Tiafoe defeated Marcos Giron, Jason Kubler, and Diego Schwartzman in three sets to reach the last 16 of the current tournament. Last year, Tiafoe lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime in the US Open round of 16.

Rafael Nadal

Spain

Rafael Nadal is the four-times winner of the US Open - he won the tournament in 2010, 2013, 2017 and 2019. The Spaniard had a slow start to his campaign but has gained momentum and crushed Richard Gasquet in the previous round, surrendering only six games to the Frenchman. In the first two rounds, Nadal ousted Rink Hijikata and Fabio Fognini. Earlier this year, Nadal won the Australian Open and Roland Garros - he has a total of 22 Grand Slam trophies.
