Frances Tiafoe, of the United States, reacts after defeating Alexei Popyrin, of Australia, during the fourth round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024, in New York. NEW YORK — To hear Frances Tiafoe tell it, Taylor Fritz predicted this sort of moment for the two of them.It was during an early morning plane ride together a few years ago that the conversation turned to the future and possibilities, Tiafoe recounted after setting up a U.S.
This sort of thing has seemed to be on the horizon for a bit for American men, thanks to a generation that includes the 20th-seeded Tiafoe and 12th-seeded Fritz, along with Tommy Paul, and two younger players also in their 20s, Ben Shelton and Sebastian Korda. All five are ranked in the ATP top 20. “It’s great for American tennis,” said Navarro, a 23-year-old who was born in New York, grew up in South Carolina and won an NCAA title for the University of Virginia as a freshman in 2021. “Of course I want to see myself and my fellow Americans go as far as we can go in the tournament.”
At the next major after Tiafoe’s breakthrough, the 2023 Australian Open, Paul made it to the semifinals before losing to Novak Djokovic. And at last year’s U.S. Open, Shelton was a semifinalist, eliminating Tiafoe in the quarterfinals before losing to Djokovic.
