Taylor Fritz

He has yet to drop a set.

Fritz will need all of that reserved energy plus some.
His next opponent will likely be Novak Djokovic who dominated him in Montreal in under an hour two weeks ago.
Frances Tiafoe
The 2022 US Open was Frances Tiafoe’s breakout tournament when he defeated Rafael Nadal.
Tiafoe is proving that it was not a fluke as he continues to play well round after round in NYC this year.
For the first time since 2005, three American men are in the quarterfinals in singles at the #USOpen. Back then, it was Andre Agassi, James Blake & Robby Ginepri.

Ben Shelton
Ben Shelton is becoming a New York fan-favorite for many reasons.
His energy and interaction with the crowd are off-the-charts.
Ben Shelton was asked what he’s learned about himself:
“I learned that I’m not just a tennis player. I don’t just put on a show on court. I treat people the right way & make an impact.. I hope there’s a lot of young people that develop a passion for tennis when they watch me” 🥹 pic.twitter.com/UXhbRibu5h

He defeated fellow American Tommy Paul in the Round of 16 which puts him on a collision course in the quarterfinal with another American Frances Tiafoe.
Tiafoe calls Shelton “Bugs Bunny.”
Frances Tiafoe on facing Ben Shelton in US Open QF:
“It’s a big match. He’s Bugs Bunny. He’s got crazy endless energy. He’s gonna come after me. I’m gonna come after him. It’s gonna be a great battle. We’re gonna compete really hard. I plan on being in the SF” pic.twitter.com/IGecSe4Afx
