The guy is only 19? Well, he's got time to fine tune that game.
Got to be patient. Too many easy errors.

6-2 6-1
ref should call off the match. There should be such rule.
Need to win at least 10 games to deserve a 4th set.

Tiafoe showed all his potential in that first set. She got something to build on.
No shame. I like his best game.. He's got to learn to keep steady.

Did he figure it out? You got to keep the ball on Federer's backhand to beat him.
He can't hurt you from there. That was working in the first set.
If he can continue with that strategy, he will give himself a chance. Stay away from Fed's forehand.

he gives Fed an easy break... 2 stupid errors and the match is out of his hand..
Just keep it simple... keep looping the balls to his backhand safely.. He can't hurt you.. It's obvious.
well, hope his coaches teaches him how to stay in point. Federer tries nothing fancy until he got an opening. He doesn't even try to hit winner on second serve.. He just slices it back.

Tiafoe beats himself with UEs ... This 19-yo has potential.. but makes some crucial lazy errors like that stupid drop shot to give away a game in that 5th set and go down a break.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#then se manages to get back.... but 2 UEs at the end and he is out.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Se had a chance to win this match. Federer got lucky.
