In the U.S. Open quarterfinals, Frances Tiafoe triumphed over Grigor Dimitrov, who suffered a hamstring injury, marking Tiafoe's second Grand Slam semifinal appearance and setting up an All-American clash against Taylor Fritz. Meanwhile, British tennis player Jack Draper has made a significant mark by reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal, navigating through the tournament without dropping a set. Draper is seen as the new beacon of hope for British tennis following Andy Murray's retirement. On the women's side, Jessica Pegula faced challenges against world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, struggling with her serve under pressure. Additionally, Taylor Townsend and Donald Young are poised to play in the U.S. Open mixed doubles final, celebrating their enduring friendship and shared legacy. Both Tiafoe and Draper's successes highlight a potential new era for American and British tennis, respectively.
