American Taylor Fritz, the 12th seed, achieved a milestone by defeating No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3) in the US Open quarterfinals, securing his first Grand Slam semifinal appearance. Fritz showcased resilience and consistency, particularly under pressure, winning two crucial tiebreaks. This victory, marking his fourth over an ATP top-10 player this season, propels him to face either Grigor Dimitrov or fellow American Frances Tiafoe in the semis. Fritz's performance fuels hopes for a US men's champion at the US Open for the first time since Andy Roddick in 2003. The match was a significant rematch of their Wimbledon encounter, where Fritz had also emerged victorious.
