The last American standing in the US Open Men’s Singles is gearing up to face a tennis legend tonight, hoping to secure a place in the semifinals.
Taylor Fritz, the fourth seed and one of the top American players, is now the only representative left in the tournament. It’s a pivotal moment for him, as he’s the only chance the U.S. has to produce a men’s grand slam champion since the last victory in 2003.
Tonight, in the quarterfinals, Fritz will go up against No. 7 seed Novak Djokovic, who is pursuing a record 25th major title at this year’s event. Djokovic already holds the record for the most Grand Slam wins ever in men’s or women’s tennis, with 24 titles.
