Taylor Fritz ends America's 15-year-long wait, beats Frances Tiafoe

Fritz beat Tiafoe in a pulsating five-set contest 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 to become the first American man since Andy Roddick in 2009 (Wimbledon) to reach a Grand Slam final. Roddick was also the last man from the country to capture a major title when he won the 2003 US Open.

Taylor Fritz ends America's 15-year-long wait, beats Frances Tiafoe

In an all-American semi-final that went right down to the wire, Taylor Fritz got the better of Frances Tiafoe to advance to the final of the US Open 2024 men's singles event.

Fritz beat Tiafoe in a pulsating five-set contest 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 to become the first American man since Andy Roddick in 2009 (Wimbledon) to reach a Grand Slam final. Roddick was also the last man from the country to capture a major title when he won the 2003 US Open.

Fritz, World No.12, will face top-ranked Jannik Sinner, who became the first Italian man to make the New York final with a 7-5, 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 win over an ailing Jack Draper earlier in the day, for the US Open title.

"He overwhelmed me at the start and I was freaking out a little," said 26-year-old Fritz after securing victory with a 16th ace.

"I just told myself to stay in it, hold serve and apply scoreboard pressure.

"I did all I could to stay in it. If I hadn't have done that I'd regret it forever. In the final, I will come out and give it everything."

Tiafoe went into Friday's match trailing 6-1 in his head-to-head record against his compatriot.

However, he boasted the more impressive Grand Slam credentials, playing in his second US Open semi-final in his last three appearances.

Fritz was in unknown territory, having fallen at the quarter-final stage at the Slams on four occasions.

Tiafoe used that greater experience to hit back from 3-0 in the first set to clinch the opener.

Fritz, who had reached the semi-final by defeating fourth-ranked Alexander Zverev in the previous round, was unable to convert a set point in the 10th game of the second set.

He succeeded at the next time of asking to level the match before handing the initiative straight back when Tiafoe broke for 1-0 in the third and held the advantage to retake the lead.

In a match where there were few rallies and little real drama, Fritz levelled again in the 10th game of the fourth set when Tiafoe dumped a lazy drop shot into the net.

That suddenly drained the spirit from Tiafoe as Fritz raced to victory in a brutally one-sided decider in which his opponent managed just nine points.
