Donald Young hails crowd for inspiring US Open comeback win over Viktor Troicki

Donald Young hails the crowd on the Grandstand Court at Flushing Meadows for inspiring him to come back to defeat Viktor Troicki in five sets at the US Open.

Donald Young has praised his home crowd at Flushing Meadows for inspiring him to a comeback win over Viktor Troicki in the third round of the US Open.

Troicki took a two-set lead and appeared to be on the verge of victory, but the 26-year-old began his comeback with a win in a third-set tie-breaker.

Young then won the fourth 6-2 before he sealed his place in the last 16 with a 6-4 victory in the deciding set courtesy of a sublime forehand winner down the line.

He told ESPN on the Grandstand Court: "Showing you can fight and come back is a great feeling at the end of the day. It was 90% you guys, 10% me.

"I am so happy to be able to do it in front of you guys, thanks for the support.

"It definitely did [feel a bit like Davis Cup]. I was on the other end of a match like this earlier this year in Scotland against Andy Murray, so to have you guys 100% for me felt amazing."

The American will now face Stanislas Wawrinka in the fourth round of the competition.
