Tiafoe wins marathon rally, but ends up losing the opening match of the Laver Cup, 6-1 6-4 in Chicago
Friday 21 September 2018 21:57, UK
Jack Sock and Nick Kyrgios gave Frances Tiafoe the spoon-to-mouth gesture after the young American won an epic rally against Grigor Dimitrov at the Laver Cup.
Tiafoe, a late replacement for Juan Martin del Potro, had lost the opening set before giving the ATP Finals champion much more of a battle in the second set.
And the intensity of the competition came to a head in the sixth game when the 20-year-old came out on top of a stunning 36-shot rally.
While Tiafoe celebrated winning the point, his team-mates Sock and Kyrgios, from the rest of the world gave him the 'feed me' gesture.
