American Taylor Fritz took down No. 4 Alexander Zverev in the US Open quarterfinals Tuesday to reach his first major semifinal.
"I've had a lot of looks at quarterfinals over the last couple of years and today just felt different," Fritz said."I really felt like it was my time to take it a step further."
Fritz beat Zverev, the 2020 US Open runner-up, in an epic five-setter at Wimbledon, and this time had the added boost of the home crowd being firmly on his side as he joinedTiafoe could give the U.S. a second men's semifinalist -- and a guaranteed chance to play for the championship -- when he faces No.
"That could be crazy, so I guess we'll see what happens," Fritz said,"but either way I'll be ready to go."
