American misses first grand slam singles quarter-finalTownsend had become huge crowd favorite in QueensTaylor Townsend couldn’t covert eight match points in a second set that ended with a 25-minute tiebreaker as she was eliminated from the US Open on Sunday with a 1-6, 7-6, 6-3 loss to Barbora Krejcikova.With the fans firmly behind a player who became a fan favorite during the tournament after her confrontation with Jelena Ostapenko, Townsend was repeatedly a point away from what would have been her first grand slam singles quarter-final.
