Published Feb 26, 2018

Frances Tiafoe wasn't having it. Upset over a call made by chair umpire Fergus Murphy during his Delray Beach Open quarterfinal encounter with Hyeon Chung, Tiafoe got down.

By the by, "got down" in this particular situation translates to "flailed about and nearly mummified himself in the net":

The funny thing is that the 20-year-old proceeded to take the contest over world No. 30 Chung (though it took him two days).

In the semifinals, he moved past fellow up-and-comer Denis Shapovalov by a decisive 7-5, 6-4 count. On Sunday, Tiafoe took out surprise finalist Peter Gojowczyk for the Delray Beach title, becoming the first player born in 1998 to win an ATP crown.
