American tennis players Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz will face off in the U.S. Open semifinals, ensuring a U.S. male player in a Grand Slam final for the first time since 2009. Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro aim to set up an all-American women's final after defeating top seeds Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, respectively, marking their first semi-final appearances at a major. Pegula has been impressive, not dropping a set in five rounds, while Navarro comes from a privileged background but emphasizes her hard work. Aryna Sabalenka and Navarro set one semifinal matchup with their victories over Zheng Qinwen and Paula Badosa.
