NEW YORK (Reuters) -Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul and Coco Gauff all advanced to the third round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday to keep home hopes alive that an American player will be crowned champion at Flushing Meadows.
Tiafoe, who reached the semi-finals last year, breezed past Sebastian Ofner 6-3 6-1 6-4 under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the 10th seed meeting little resistance from the 58th ranked Austrian in their first career meeting.
