Taylor Fritz has beaten Alexander Zverev in the US Open quarterfinals, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3), to reach his first Grand Slam semifinal.
The 26-year-old American’s previous-best results at Grand Slams were four quarterfinal finishes at Wimbledon in 2022, the US Open in 2023 and the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year.
He’s just the fourth active American man to reach a major semifinal.
ACTIVE AMERICAN MEN TO REACH MAJOR SEMIFINALS:
Frances Tiafoe (2022 US Open)
Tommy Paul (2023 Australian Open)
Ben Shelton (2023 US Open)
Taylor Fritz (2024 US Open)
Tiafoe will play Grigor Dimitrov in the night-time quarterfinal tonight, and if he wins, he’ll become the only active American man to reach more than one Grand Slam semifinal in his career.
More to come…
