While the semifinal showdown could go either way, and certainly make sure to get your popcorn ready, here's why both players have a chance to get the win -- and a prediction of how it might go.History is certainly on Fritz's side. The two have played seven times on tour, and Fritz has won their previous six meetings, most recently in the quarterfinals at Acapulco last season.

While Tiafoe struggled at times during the year, he has found his rhythm and results during the hard-court summer season. After skipping the Olympics in order to focus on the surface and his favorite major, Tiafoe has gone 14-4 and reached the final at the last tuneup event in Cincinnati, and had a semifinal appearance at his hometown Citi Open earlier in August.
