As a massive opportunity to finally reach his first grand slam semi-final came into view, Taylor Fritz refused to let the moment pass him by. He threw himself inside the baseline, desperately trying to take the initiative and impose his weapons on the match. Even when he sprayed unforced errors on key break points and offered his opponent, Alexander Zverev, chances to take command, Fritz was determined to control his own destiny until the end.
Fritz, the highest ranked player in the US, was rewarded for his courage as he marched into a grand slam semi-final for the first time in his career on home soil at the US Open, toppling Zverev, the fourth seed, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
