Frances Tiafoe vs Taylor Fritz: Fritz to face Sinner in US Open men’s tennis final

In a match of American vs American, Frances Tiafoe is taking on Taylor Fritz for a spot in the US Open final.

No matter who wins tonight’s semi-final, it will be the first time in 18 years that an American will make it to the US Open men’s singles final.

The contest comes hours after Jack Draper ’s US Open run came to an end in a dramatic semi-final defeat to World No 1 Jannik Sinner , in a brutal contest that saw both players call for medical attention.

Sinner emerged triumphant 7-5 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 in over three hours but the World No 1 was pushed all the way by a resilient Draper, who hung on despite struggling with the heat and humidity in New York.

Draper, playing in his first grand slam semi-final at the age of 22, was sick on court during a wild second set in which, moments later, Sinner hurt his wrist after falling behind the baseline.

Both players called the trainer but Sinner recovered and raised his game in the pivotal second-set tiebreak. After a monumental effort, Draper faded in the third set.
