| Year | Event | Surface | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Monte Carlo | Clay | 2R | Popyrin | 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 |
| 2024 | US Open | Hard | R16 | Tiafoe | 6-4, 7-6, 2-6, 6-3 |
Popyrin Returns To Winning Ways
Alexei Popyrin moved into the quarterfinal in Houston with a 6-0, 4-6, 6-1 win over Alex Michelsen. He fired nine aces and saved three of the five break points he faced.
This is the first time he has won consecutive main-draw matches on tour since his quarterfinal run in Toronto last year. He also snapped a nine-match losing streak against top-50 players with his win over Michelsen.
The Australian has struggled for form in recent months, slipping close to dropping out of the top 50 after a series of poor results since the North American swing.
Popyrin holds a 4-7 record in tour-level quarterfinals and has lost his last three at this stage. His most recent quarterfinal win came in Montreal 2024, where he went on to win the title.

Tiafoe Extends Impressive Houston Record
Frances Tiafoe secured his place in the Houston quarterfinal with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 win over Rinky Hijikata. He fired 12 aces and converted four of his eight break-point chances.
This marks his fifth consecutive quarterfinal appearance in Houston. He has won three of his previous four at this stage, including lifting the title in 2023.
Tiafoe was close to breaking into the top 10 last year, but a dip in results pushed him outside the top 30. He has since regained form with solid performances this season, returning to the top 20.
Since the start of 2025, he has played six quarterfinals on tour, losing four of them, including defeats to Learner Tien and Jannik Sinner.
