\n Frances Tiafoe was well on his way to another early U.S. Open exit.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old American had won the first set against John Millman in their second-round match Thursday, but midway through the second set, the Australian took over. Millman won seven straight game<\/a>s and 10 of 11, dominating the third set to take a commanding 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Tiafoe found a second level to ensure the longest stay of his career in Flushing.<\/p>\n

With his back against the wall, Tiafoe turned on the afterburners and finished off a gutsy comeback win, 7-6, 3-6, 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. He advanced to the third round of the U.S. Open for the first time in his career, after suffering first-round exits in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and bowing out in the second round in each of the last two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlayed loose a couple of those games in the second but a horrible third set,\u201d Tiafoe said. \u201cIt kind of ended up working for the better because I saved energy. \u2026 I gave it my all for [the last] two sets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite often being tagged with the potential to be the next American men\u2019s star, this marks just his third trip<\/a> to the third round of a Grand Slam tournament in 17 career tries. Tiafoe previously reached the third round of Wimbledon in 2018 and the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lost some heartbreakers,\u201d Tiafoe said. \u201cIt was nice to get over the line in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the pressure-filled fifth set, Tiafoe and Millman had taken turns winning games they served before Tiafoe finally broke serve to take a 4-3 lead. He served for a win in the next game before breaking again to clinch the win over Millman, who was only two years removed from beating Roger Federer to reach the U.S. Open quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

Tiafoe, who withdrew from the All-American Team Cup in July after testing positive for COVID-19, was able to win Thursday despite his 73 unforced errors (to Millman\u2019s 54). Fifty-four of them came during the first three sets, but he began cutting down on them from there, including committing just six in the final set.<\/p>\n

The 82nd-ranked player in the world, Tiafoe received treatment on his right shoulder after winning a tiebreaker (8-6) to take the first set, though he didn\u2019t outwardly show any signs of discomfort following the trainer\u2019s visit. He led 3-2 in the second set before Millman captured the next seven straight games to flip the momentum \u2014 only temporarily, as it turned out.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
