The home favourite defeated the fourth seed 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3), while Emma Navarro beat Paula Badosa 6-2, 7-5 to reach the women’s semi-final
Home favourite defeats fourth seed 7-6 , 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 As a massive opportunity to finally reach his first grand slam semi-final came into view, Taylor Fritz refused to let the moment pass him by. He threw himself inside the baseline, desperately trying to take the initiative and impose his weapons on the match.
While Zverev rapidly broke through, it has taken Fritz some time to catch up. He was still ranked outside the top 100 when Zverev won his first Masters 1000 title in 2017 and it would take the 26-year-old another five years to break into the top 20. For Zverev, meanwhile, this match encapsulated his on-court difficulties. Zverev has enjoyed an extremely accomplished career, winning six Masters 1000 titles, the ATP Finals, an Olympic gold medal and reaching two grand slam finals.
Every year, the plight of American men’s tennis is one of the pressing subjects at the US Open, the shadows of both Andy Roddick’s 2003 triumph – the last time a US man won a grand slam title – and the long history of extraordinary US male tennis players looming over the draws. But in recent years, the narrative has changed as this generation of US tennis players has enjoyed modest success.
