Frances Tiafoe picks up a tough victory after throwing up at the Australian Open

New Indian Express  

MELBOURNE, Australia: Frances Tiafoe threw up during his first-round match at the Australian Open on Monday along the way to a five-set victory and said afterward he might have quit if this had been just a run-of-the-mill tournament. The 17th-seeded Tiafoe, who turns 27 in a week, managed to win the topsy-turvy match against Arthur Rinderknech of France 7-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-7, 6-3 in 4 hours, 8 minutes. “If it was any other, probably, event, I probably would have let it go,” Tiafoe said about getting sick late in the fourth set. While the temperature was about 80 degrees and it was sunny on Monday — a stark contrast to the thunderstorm that delayed play for more than six hours Sunday — Tiafoe said the heat was not the issue for him during a match that began at 11 a.m.
