On September 6, Taylor Fritz triumphed over his fellow American Frances Tiafoe in a thrilling five-set match at the US Open semifinals, with scores of 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. This victory makes him the first American man to reach a Grand Slam singles final in 15 years.
According to reports from Reuters and AFP, the 12th seed, Fritz, capitalized on his strong serve throughout the match, firing off an impressive 16 aces, including the final point of the match, which he secured with an ace.
Tiafoe started strong but struggled to maintain his momentum, ending up with 50 unforced errors and 9 double faults, which ultimately cost him the match.
Looking ahead, Fritz will face the world’s top-ranked player, Italy’s Jannik Sinner, in the final on September 8, hoping to end a 21-year drought for American men in Grand Slam singles championships.
