No American man has won a grand slam singles title since Andy Roddick won the US Open in 2003. Taylor Fritz has the chance to end that drought on Sunday.
No American man has won a grand slam singles title since Andy Roddick won the US Open in 2003. Taylor Fritz has the chance to end that drought. Fritz on Friday came back from a two-sets-to-one deficit to defeat fellow American Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 to reach the US Open final. In Sunday’s championship match, Fritz, the No. 12 seed, will face world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who advanced to his first US Open final after defeating Brit Jack Draper 7-5, 7-6, 6-2.
The second set was even more grueling, at just short of 90 minutes. Draper vomited multiple times. Sinner, meanwhile, had a potential injury scare in the middle of what was the most electrifying point of the match at 4-4, 15-40. Sinner, who was at the net after returning a Draper volley, needed to sprint diagonally across the court and back to the baseline to chase down Draper’s follow-up shot.
