Frances Tiafoe achieves US Open semi-final: A look at the duel against Fritz

In an exciting semi -final game by the US Open, Frances Tiafoe solved his ticket for the final. The 26-year-old prevailed against Grigor Dimitrov, who had to give up due to an injury at the crucial moment. This game took place in the presence of tennis legend Roger Federer, which also loaded the atmosphere. Tiafoe showed a strong performance, especially at the beginning of the game, and led 6: 3, 6: 7 (5: 7), 6: 3, 4: 1 when Dimitrow could not continue.

The outcome of this match has historical importance. For the first time since Andy Roddick in 2009, a male US tennis professional will be in the final of a Grand Slam tournament. Roddick Himelf celebrated his last title in 2003 at the US Open in New York. The hopes are now resting on Tiafoe, which could continue to advance the efforts for a title for the United States.

Tiafoe's thoughts on victory

After the game, Tiafoe expressed his mixed feelings about the victory: "I didn't want to win that way, but I'm glad to have won," he said. However, he was optimistic about the upcoming duel against his compatriot Taylor Fritz. "This will be the greatest game of life for me and Taylor. We play against each other since we are 14 years old." This statement illustrates the long rivalry and family cohesion between the two American players who have often competed against each other in their youth.

Taylor Fritz, who prevailed in a gripping four-set match against the German Alexander Zverev, says Tiafoe's anticipation of the US duel. "It will be a lot of fun and it will be electrifying," said the 26-year-old. Fritz is aware that this game will not only be a special event for him, but also for fans. "It will be great for fans - and it guarantees that one of us will be in the final."

for Dimitrow, who acted rather unhappily that evening, the waiting for a Grand Slam final remains. The 33-year-old, who was three times in a semi-final at Grand-Slam tournaments, had to accept his fate again. After making considerable problems with the movement sequence in the third set, he had himself treated in the cabin. Unfortunately, despite the attempt to continue the game, he could no longer fight Tiafoe effectively.

The excitement about the upcoming final between Tiafoe and Fritz can be felt in the entire tennis circus. The two players are not only compatriots, but also close friends and have known each other since childhood. Their rivalry harbors an additional emotional element that will make the US Open final on Friday a particularly exciting event. The tennis world looks forward to this unforgettable climax.
