When Taylor Fritz, a 26-year-old from California, and Frances Tiafoe, a 26-year-old from Maryland, strode under the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights Friday night for the first U.S.
"It's the reason why I do what I do," Fritz told the fans, his voice cracking during a post-match interview. "It's the reason why I work so hard." "It's a dream come true. I'm in the final. So I'm going to come out and give everything I can possibly give," Fritz said. "I can't wait." After his double-fault handed over a break to make it 4-0 in the fifth, more than three hours into the proceedings, Tiafoe chucked his racket. Fritz repaid the favour by double-faulting to end the next game, but broke right back and soon it was over. They met at the net for an embrace.Sinner, a 23-year-old from Italy exonerated in a doping case less than three weeks ago, finished off a 7-5, 7-6 , 6-2 victory over No.
The respective guest boxes seemed to reflect the players' contrasting personalities. The excitable Tiafoe would mark a key moment by shaking a raised fist or gritting his teeth or wagging his racket or nodding while strutting to the sideline, and his entourage — including coach David Witt, who worked with Venus Williams for many years, as well as Jessica Pegula, the American in the U.S.
Tiafoe appeared to lose steam after losing one particular 31-stroke point — the longest of the match, he called it "definitely an intense rally" — midway through the fourth, then gave away that set's last game by double-faulting twice and netting a drop shot.Ostapenko, Kichenok win women's doubles titleA run to the U.S. Open women's doubles championship forced a change of plans.
