The last time a U.S. man played in any major final was in 2009, when Andy Roddick lost to Roger Federer at Wimbledon. The last time a U.S. man played in the U.S. Open final was 2006, when Roddick couldn’t get past — yes, of course — Federer. The last time a U.S. man did manage to win a Slam was in 2003, when Roddick defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Armed with a terrific serve and forehand, and working to improve other aspects of his game, Fritz said he likes the matchup against Sinner. They’ve split two previous meetings.
