The U.S. Open quarterfinals were won by Frances Tiafoe over Rafael Nadal

Frances Tiafoe's vision was blurred by tears. On Monday, he realized that he had ended Rafael Nadal's 22-match Grand Slam winning streak

The most meaningful part of Tiafoe's 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Nadal in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows was looking up at his parents in the Arthur Ashe Stadium guest box.

"To see me beat Rafa Nadal, they've seen my big wins, but to beat these Mount Rushmore guys?" said Tiafoe, a 22nd-seeded American.

I cannot imagine what was going through their heads. I mean, they will remember this day forever..."

During the 1990s, his parents emigrated to the United States from Sierra Leone in West Africa. Constant helped build a tennis training center for juniors in Maryland, where he became a maintenance man

 Tiafoe and his twin brother, Franklin, were born in 1998, and soon would be spending hours upon hours where Dad's job was, rackets in hand, watching their mother work two jobs.

It might one day lead to a college scholarship, if the dream came true. In the hours following his biggest victory, Frances Tiafoe said, "It wasn't supposed to be like this."

I played a bad match, and he played a good match," said Nadal, who has won 22 Grand Slam titles. That's it at the end."
