Taylor Fritz advanced to the US Open quarterfinals for the second consecutive year by defeating Casper Ruud in a four-set match (3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2). Fritz overcame a sluggish start, eventually dominating Ruud by leveraging his powerful serve, including 24 aces. This victory marked Fritz's third Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance in 2024, emulating Andy Roddick's 2007 season. Fritz will face Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals, amid a backdrop of personal drama involving his girlfriend Morgan Riddle and Zverev. Riddle, a social media influencer, had previously clashed with Zverev over noise during Wimbledon and referenced past domestic abuse claims against him.
