US Open: Fritz Sets Up Men's Singles Final Against Sinner
American Frances Tiafoe: Taylor Fritz is now just one win away from ending the United States’ 21-year drought for a male Grand Slam singles champion. The 12th seed fought back to defeat his close friend and fellow American Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 on Friday, advancing to his first major final at the US Open.
The last American male to win a Grand Slam was Andy Roddick, who triumphed at Flushing Meadows in 2003. Now, Fritz will face top seed Jannik Sinner on Sunday for a shot at the title.
Fritz, 26, had a challenging road to the final, coming into the tournament with just one win from the ATP Masters 1000 events in Montreal and Cincinnati, as per ATP. But he made history as the first American male to reach a Grand Slam final since Roddick at Wimbledon in 2009.
