An all-American clash beckons in the semi-final match of the 2024 US Open.

After a long wait of 19 years, the US Open will witness two local lads take on each other for a spot in the US Open 2024 finals. Prior to the commencement of the Grand Slam, very few would have predicted one of these two Americans to make it to the finale.

However, with shocking upsets of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, and with Jannik Sinner in another part of the draw, one of Taylor Fritz or Frances Tiafoe will have the opportunity to fight in their maiden Grand Slam final.

Fritz stormed into the semis after an impressive outing against fourth seed Alexander Zverev. These two have had an interesting history, especially considering their previous battle in Wimbledon which was marred by controversy. Unlike the encounter in London, the American was far more decisive against the German on this occasion, beating him in four sets.

Tiafoe, on the other hand, has had the more challenging draw on his way to the semis, facing Ben Shelton, Alexei Popyrin and Grigor Dimitrov in his last few rounds. After overcoming a marathon five setter against fellow American, Ben Shelton, Tiafoe outlasted the Australian and Bulgarian in four sets in subsequent battles, much to the delight of the fans.

One of these two Americans are set to rewrite history by becoming the first male American to advance to the finals of a Grand Slam after a period of 15 years. Andy Roddick was the last male American to reach a Grand Slam final before losing to Roger Federer in the 2009 Wimbledon finale.
