Watch Michelle Obama gives Frances Tiafoe a standing ovation after the American s extraordinary drop shot to save match point against Carlos Alcaraz in US Open SF

By Shyam Kamal Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Michelle Obama gave a standing ovation to Frances Tiafoe for his US Open heroics Frances Tiafoe came back from the jaws of defeat to take his semifinal clash against Carlos Alcaraz at the 2022 US Open to a deciding fifth set, saving one match point along the way with an extraordinary drop shot. Down 4-5 30-40 off his own serve in the fourth set, Tiafoe battled Alcaraz in a 19-shot rally that was a battle of attrition between the two. Instead of going for a high-risk winner as he had done throughout the clash, the American decided to play it safe and kept returning balls to the center of the court.

The teenager, instead of going for a down-the-line winner, chose to play a cheeky drop shot, not a bad choice considering it has paid dividends throughout the tournament. Only, Tiafoe was alert to the threat and rushed to the net with a galloping run and responded with a beautiful, unreturnable drop shot of his own. This time, Alcaraz was not as quick on his feet as the ball bounced away from him to give the 24-year-old an extra life. As the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium came to their feet to applaud their home hero, so too did former US First Lady Michelle Obama, who was in the stands to cheer on her compatriot. Mrs. Obama gave Tiafoe a standing ovation for his nerves of steel, a sentiment felt throughout the arena on the night.

Unfortunately, an early double break saw the Spaniard coast to the win eventually, going through to the final with a 6(6)-7, 6-3, 6-1, 6(5)-7, 6-3 scoreline.
