Tien bizarrely ate from a loaf of bread during a changeover.
He also suffered several physical issues as the contest went on, complaining of stomach pain.

The world No17 continued playing, but required a medical timeout while trailing 3-2 in the fourth, with the physio appearing to stretch out his knee.
Fucsovics went on to wrap up the match by winning the fourth set 6-3.
The Hungarian fell to his back after sealing a place in round three, before a brief handshake with Tien.

He posted, alongside a picture of Tiafoe beaming: “Shoutout to @bigfoe1998 for scamming me out of $500. As a young and upcoming player, this money would help me invest in my career and my future. It’s very disappointing to see this from someone so successful.”
Tiafoe later revealed that they had placed a bet on a practice match, but had run out of time before Tien could put him away.
