Tiafoe and Popyrin bring the laughs to Houston clay

Frances Tiafoe and Alexei Popyrin meet in the Houston quarterfinals on April 3, 2026, at River Oaks Country Club. Tiafoe and Popyrin are tied 1-1 head to head, and both have already survived a few clay court headaches to get here. Joey would call this a big serve and a bigger grin situation, with Tiafoe just edging it in three sets.
