Argentinian tennis player Pedro Cachin caused a huge upset at the Madrid Masters on Monday, defeating American Frances Tiafoe, the No. 9 seed, 6-1, 7-6 (2) at the Caja Magica. Cachin, ranked No. 67 in the world, will now face German lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff in the last 16.

Cachin’s impressive victory against Tiafoe followed two other notable wins against Jordanian wildcard Abdullah Shelbayh and No. 24 seed Francisco Cerundolo. In the first match, Cachin was in top form, winning 6-1, 6-4, while in the second, he clinched the win with a 6-1, 7-6 (6) scoreline.

Tiafoe, on the other hand, defeated Argentinian Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the previous round with a 6-3, 7-6 (5) win, but was unable to overcome Cachin’s dominance in their match. Cachin took control of the match from the outset, comfortably winning the first set 6-1. While Tiafoe mounted a comeback in the second set, Cachin held his nerve and clinched the tiebreak 7-2.

However, the tennis world was quick to react to Tiafoe’s loss, with many taking to Twitter to express their surprise and disappointment at the American’s early exit. Some even went as far as to criticize Tiafoe for his poor performance against a lower-ranked player.

Despite the criticism, Frances Tiafoe can take solace in the fact that he has had a strong season so far, including a semifinal appearance at the Estoril Open last week. He will undoubtedly be looking to bounce back from this defeat and continue his push up the rankings in the coming months.

As for Cachin, he will be relishing the opportunity to cause another upset and continue his impressive run of form. With his confidence high and his game firing on all cylinders, he will be a dangerous opponent for any player in the tournament.
