Carlos Alcaraz beat Frances Tiafoe 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (7/2), 6-2 to keep his title defence on track.
LONDON – Carlos Alcaraz came back from the brink in a five-set thriller against close friend Frances Tiafoe at Wimbledon on Friday, winning 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 , 6-2 to keep his title defence on track.
"Always a big challenge playing against Frances," said Alcaraz. "He is a really talented player, really tough to face and he has shown again that he deserves to be at the top and fight for big things. He will face America's Brandon Nakashima or 16th seed Ugo Humbert of France in the fourth round as he seeks a fourth Grand Slam title at the tender age of 21.Tiafoe, seeded 29th, put Alcaraz's serve under intense pressure in the opening set, carving out six break points and taking two of them to win it 7-5.
The champion was in deep trouble at 0-30 in the ninth game of the fourth set but won four straight points to stay on serve. Tiafoe held serve to delay the inevitable but Alcaraz served out to love, sealing the deal with a clever drop shot before letting out a roar and raising his arms to the sky.
