The 2026 US Open Round of 16 is set to feature an exciting match between Frances Tiafoe and Daniil Medvedev, scheduled for Sunday, September 6 at 3:00 PM EDT at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Tiafoe, the No. 11 seed, is in fantastic form after a successful summer, highlighted by a runner-up finish at the Cincinnati Masters. His journey at this US Open started with a challenging five-set match against fellow American Martin Damm, but he quickly found his rhythm, showcasing his aggressive playstyle and securing victories to advance into the second week.
In Tiafoe’s player box, you’ll see his girlfriend, Canadian tennis player Ayan Broomfield, along with his coaching team, including head coach Dr. Mark Kovacs and fitness trainer Brett Costello. The atmosphere is often lively with appearances from sports stars like Hailey Baptiste and Jack Paul McClinton III, along with celebrities like Boris Kodjoe.
While Medvedev holds a 6–2 head-to-head lead against Tiafoe, the energy from the New York crowd could make this match particularly unpredictable and thrilling.
