Frances Tiafoe Sparks Laver Cup Victory for Team World

After dropping the first set to Stefanos Tsitsipas on Sunday, France Tiafoe stormed back to win the hotly contested match and give Team World the overall victory at the Laver Cup.

The 24-year-old American staved off four match points in the second-set tie-break to eventually force a winner-take-all third set. He dialed up just enough magic to rally back from a lackluster start to the match and pull out the win over the Greek star, 1–6, 7–6(11), 10–8.

After the match-winning point, Tiafoe collapsed to the ground in celebration as his Team World teammates flooded the court to rejoice in their 13–8 victory over Team Europe

“It is an unbelievable feeling,” Tiafoe said in his on-court interview, per ATP.
