Taylor Fritz has become the first American man to reach the U.S. Open final since 2006, following a dramatic five-set victory over Frances Tiafoe. Fritz, who rallied from being down two sets to one, secured his place in the final with scores of 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. This marks Fritz's first Grand Slam final appearance, and he will face the No. 1 seed, Jannik Sinner of Italy, on Sunday. Fritz aims to be the first American male to win a major since Andy Roddick in 2003. This achievement ends an 18-year drought for American men at the U.S. Open, with the match taking place in Flushing Meadows.
