American Taylor Townsend saw her dazzling U.S. Open underdog run come to an unfortunate end against Czechia's Barbora Krejčíková in a fourth-round loss (6-1, 6-7, 3-6) on Sunday afternoon.
Townsend appeared primed to book her first-ever spot in the U.S. Open quarterfinal, with a whopping eight match points in the second set. But Krejčíková would go on to save them all, making an incredibly resilient comeback as she clinched the final two sets.
