Taylor Fritz has a chance to end the 21-year wait for an American to win the US Open, but will face world number 1 Jannik Sinner in the final in New York on Sunday night.

Fritz defeated fellow American Frances Tiafoe in five sets to become the first man to reach the US Open final since Andy Roddick in 2006. He is now one win away from equaling Roddick’s 2003 triumph.

Sinner is the ultimate test, however, as the Italian won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open earlier this year and is on a 13-match winning streak on hard courts in the majors.

Sinner defeated Britain’s Jack Draper in a dramatic semi-final on Friday night, but there were concerns over the 23-year-old after he fell on his left wrist and required medical treatment.

Fritz, who is in his first Grand Slam final at the age of 26, has faced Sinner twice before. Sinner won their last meeting in Indian Wells in 2023, while Fritz secured victory at the same tournament in 2021.
