For the first time since 2006, the United States will be represented in the finals of the U.S. Open men's singles tournament.On Tuesday, a pair of Americans earned entries into the semifinal round. Frances Tiafoe, who made the U.S. Open semifinals in 2022, defeated Grigor Dimitrov in a walkover after Tiafoe won two of the first three sets and was up 4-1 in the fourth.
Tiafoe and Fritz's ascension to the semifinals comes as the tournament has been full of upsets. Two of the favorites in this year's tournament, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, were knocked out in the first week of competition.Tiafoe and Fritz are only separated in age by three months, meaning they started competing against each other early in their careers. The two first met in an ATP Tour event in 2016 when Tiafoe defeated Fritz in three sets at the ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells.
