Taylor Fritz surges with a six-game run against a frustrated Frances Tiafoe in the U.S. Open semifinals to win and reach his first Grand Slam final.
Taylor Fritz surged with a six-game run against a fading and frustrated Frances Tiafoe to come out on top 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 in an all-American matchup at the U.S. Open on Friday night to reach his first Grand Slam final. The No. 12-seeded Fritz's momentum-shift-filled victory against No. 20 Tiafoe — a pair of 26-year-olds who are close pals and have known each other since they were playing in tournaments for kids younger than 14 — earned a showdown against No.
Fritz repaid the favor by double-faulting to end the next game, but broke right back and soon it was over. Sinner, a 23-year-old from Italy exonerated in a doping case less than three weeks ago, finished off a 7-5, 7-6 , 6-2 victory over No. 25 Jack Draper earlier Friday that featured simultaneous treatment of both competitors by trainers deep in the 1½-hour second set. “It was a very physical match, as we see,” said Sinner, who won the Australian Open in January.
