The upsets keep coming at Wimbledon. Following an upset-heavy first round, American Frances Tiafoe added his name to the list of disappointing performers after an upset loss to Cameron Norrie on Tuesday.
Tiafoe lost the match in four sets (6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 7-5).
No hesitation from Norrie 💪

Tiafoe got off to a decent start, taking the first set 6-4 to secure a lead. But he couldn’t hold that momentum. Tiafoe dropped the next two sets against Norrie 4-6, 3-6, to fall behind in the match.
With Tiafoe on the ropes, the American decided to take a lengthy bathroom break ahead of the fourth set. His absence lingered longer than expected, causing some to accuse Tiafoe of trying to halt Norrie’s momentum. Tiafoe was gone long enough that some sites erroneously listed the match as over after just three sets, leading some to wonder whether Tiafoe retired due to an injury.
That was not the case. Tiafoe returned to the court for the fourth set, and initially seemed reinvigorated as he resumed play. But Norrie once again fought back, taking a 4-3 lead in the set. Tiafoe again showed signs of life, taking the next two games to make it 5-4, but Norrie battled back to win the set.
Norrie didn’t miss his opportunity to send Tiafoe packing. The Brit won the next two games, winning the fourth set, and the match 7-5.
