Schwartzman, number 16 in the world, fell to Tiafoe (26th) 7-6 (7), 6-4, 7-5 in three hours and two minutes of play on the Louis Armstrong court, the second largest in the Grand New York slam.
The Argentine enjoyed numerous occasions to pocket the first set. He first enjoyed a 2-5 lead and later up to five set points but Tiafoe stood his ground supported by his home crowd.

Schwartzman’s best result at Flushing Meadows will continue to be his two quarterfinal appearances in 2017 and 2019.
