Frances Tiafoe has advanced to an all-American semi-final at the US Open after Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire for a second straight grand slam. Tiafoe, the 20th seed, led 6-3 6-7 6-3 4-1 on Tuesday when ninth seed Dimitrov pulled the pin with a leg injury. The Bulgarian has enjoyed a resurgence in recent times but form has not been matched by good luck on the biggest stage, having already been forced to cut short his fourth-round match at Wimbledon in July.

Roddick is also the last American to win the US Open, winning in 2003 the year after Pete Sampras won his fifth and last title at Flushing Meadows. Tiafoe made the semi-finals in 2022 but fell to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz. Fritz, meanwhile, ended his hoodoo after previously making four grand slam quarter-finals for zero wins. Just as he did at Wimbledon in July, the American eliminated Alexander Zverev with a 7-6 3-6 6-4 7-6 victory on home soil.
