NEW YORK -- US Open finalist Taylor Fritz and semifinalist Frances Tiafoe were not on the Davis Cup roster submitted by the United States for the country's group-stage matches next week.

Fritz will face No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy for the title on Sunday. Sinner is not on Italy's Davis Cup roster for the group stage.
