In a gripping match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, American Taylor Fritz clinched a 7-6(2) 3-6 6-4 7-6(3) win against fourth seed Alexander Zverev, advancing to the U.S. Open semi-finals for the first time.

Fritz's victory fuels hopes of a home-grown champion at Flushing Meadows, a title not won by an American since Andy Roddick 21 years ago. Backed by a fervent home crowd, the 26-year-old U.S. number one overcame Zverev, rallying from previous quarter-final let-downs at majors.
