Carlos Alcaraz nearly crashed out at Wimbledon on Friday at the hands of a familiar foe.
3 Alcaraz came alive, running away with the fourth-set tiebreak and the fifth set to prevail 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(2) 6-2.
Tiafoe played his best tennis of the year, or maybe even two.
But with his hopes for the tournament resting on the outcome of a fourth-set tiebreak, it was Alcaraz who came alive.
Tiafoe played with the fearlessness and confidence that has been missing.
