It was a historic night in Queens, N.Y., on Friday, as Taylor Fritz emerged victorious in a five-set thriller over fellow countryman Frances Tiafoe, becoming the first American man to reach the U.S. Open final since Andy Roddick in 2006.
Fritz, who won 4–6, 7–5, 4–6, 6–4, 6–1, is also the first American man to reach the final of any major since Roddick in 2009.
