US Open: Rafael Nadal stunned by Frances Tiafoe in fourth round
Rafael Nadal has been beaten in a Grand Slam for the first time in 2022, losing to Frances Tiafoe in the US Open fourth round, BBC reported.
American Tiafoe thrilled the home crowd with a 6-4 4-6 6-4 6-3 win over four-time champion Nadal in New York.
The defeat ended the Spaniard's bid for a record-extending 23rd major singles title.
Nadal led the fourth set 3-1 before Tiafoe hit back, winning five games in a row to secure his quarter-final spot.
He will face Russian ninth seed Andrey Rublevfor a place in the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows.
Tiafoe, seeded 22nd, threw his racquet to the floor and covered his face in disbelief as his victory was confirmed by a netted Nadal backhand.
After thanking the crowd he covered his face with his towel, taking in the atmosphere on a raucous Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"Something special happened today," the 24-year-old said on court.
"I don't know what to say, I'm so happy. He's one of the greatest of all time and I played unbelievable."
Nadal has never looked settled in New York this year but that is not to take anything away from Tiafoe, who played a clever match, according to BBC.
The result means that Marin Cilic, who won the 2014 US Open, is the only Grand Slam singles winner left in the men's draw.
Cilic plays Carlos Alcaraz in Monday's night session on Arthur Ashe Stadium with Italian 11th seed Jannik Sinner taking on unseeded Belarusian Ilya Ivashka.
Antony scores as Man Utd end Arsenal’s winning run
Manchester United's £82m new boy Antony scored on his debut and Marcus Rashford got two as Erik ten Hag's men ended Arsenal's 100% start to the season at Old Trafford, BBC reported.
The Brazilian opened the scoring 10 minutes before half-time in the pulsating duel, sweeping a shot into the far corner.
Rashford claimed the assist for that and then, after Bukayo Saka had levelled on the hour, the England striker profited from two clinical United counter-attacks.
Bruno Fernandes was at the heart of both, splitting the Arsenal defence for Rashford's first, then sending Christian Eriksen clear as the Dane provided the striker with a tap-in.
It was Rashford's first Premier League double since December 2020, helping lift them to fifth in the table.
Arsenal remain top. However, after their excellent start to the season, manager Mikel Arteta will be concerned at how easily his side were opened up, although the Gunners did have a first-half Gabriel Martinelli goal ruled out by VAR.
"The game was there for the taking," Artesta said. "We haven't won it because we lacked some discipline in some moments and we weren't ruthless enough in front of goal, according to BBC.
"If we play with more courage we win the game. It is a big lesson - if you want to win here you have to do everything so right."
Barca start unbeaten start with win at Sevilla
Barcelona moved up to second in La Liga after maintaining their unbeaten start to the season with victory at Sevilla, BBC reported.
Raphinha was in the right place to head home his first Barcelona goal following his £60m summer move from Leeds.
The visitors doubled their lead before half-time when Robert Lewandowski took the ball on his chest and volleyed in for his fifth goal of the campaign.
Former Manchester City defender Erik Garcia nodded in the third, as Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla remain winless.
Sevilla's wretched run against Barca continued, now winning just one of their last 31 league games against their opponents, a run which stretches back to the 2007-08 season.
The home supporters expressed their dissatisfaction at full-time with loud jeers as their side have just one point from their opening four league games.
Former Leeds winger Raphinha set Barca on their way with an opportunistic header after Lewandowski's dinked effort was cleared off the line.
The Brazil international almost scored a quickfire second but his curling strike drifted narrowly over, according to BBC.
Fellow summer signing Jules Kounde, playing against his old club after a £42m move, could have scored in the first half, but mistimed his header from six yards out.
But the France international did provide the assist for the next two goals - a superb, raking pass finished off by Lewandowski while centre-back Garcia headed in from Kounde's nod back.
Barca are two points behind champions Real Madrid, who kept up their 100% winning start with a 2-1 victory over Real Betis.
Xavi's men are back in action on Wednesday, when they begin their Champions League campaign against Viktoria Plzen, BBC reported.
Sevilla, meanwhile, were made to pay for their missed chances as Ivan Rakitic's effort was cleared off the line by Ronald Araujo and Youssef En-Nesyri's low shot tipped was wide by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
