Reflecting on his breakthrough, Fritz said, \\\"I feel amazing. I’ve had a lot of opportunities in quarter-finals over the years, but today felt different. I really believed it was my time to take that next step, and it’s only fitting to do it here at the Open, in front of this incredible crowd.\\\"

For Zverev, this defeat marks another setback in his pursuit of a maiden grand slam title, leaving him to reflect on yet another missed opportunity. Meanwhile, Fritz's dream of capturing his first major title and ending the American drought at the US Open lives on.

Taylor Fritz Breaks Quarter-Final Curse, Powers into US Open Semi-Finals

ByAdmin8 months ago

Fritz had lost all four of his previous grans slam quarter-finals.

Taylor Fritz has finally shattered his quarter-final curse by advancing to the semi-finals of the US Open. The 26-year-old American, who had previously fallen short in all four of his grand slam quarter-final appearances, broke through on home turf with a hard-fought victory over Germany's Alexander Zverev. Fritz triumphed 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on the iconic Arthur Ashe Stadium court.

With this win, Fritz becomes the leading hope for American men’s tennis as he sets his sights on becoming the first US male champion in New York since Andy Roddick's victory 21 years ago. His confidence is growing, especially as the draw opens up following Novak Djokovic's surprising third-round exit. Fritz will now face either fellow American Frances Tiafoe or seasoned Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the semi-finals on Friday.
