US teen wildcard Frances Tiafoe shocked seventh-ranked Alexander Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the third round at the WTA and ATP Cincinnati Masters. Riding a 10-match win streak after titles in Montreal and Washington, Zverev was a favorite to capture his seventh title of the year in the last major US Open hardcourt tune-up. But 19-year-old Tiafoe, a second-round loser to the 20-year-old German at Wimbledon and the Australian Open in their only prior meetings, pulled off the greatest triumph of his young career. "I'm happy it finally happened. I've lost a lot of tough matches," Tiafoe said of his first win over a top-10 rival. "We're going to be playing a lot over the next 10 or 15 years. I didn't want to start out 0-3 against him." Zverev said the toll of his extraordinary run caught up with him this week. "I'm completely dead right now," Zverev said. "I've been dead for the past two days. I finished the match. I could have easily pulled the plug in the second set."
