US Open: Two Jugendfreude wollen Geschichte schreiben

Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe have known it for 14 years. Freitag becomes one of the best matches and the first American period of 2009 in a Grand Slam final.

Even before the Viertelfinale, Frances Tiafoe said one of the Legends Satz. “Why not now? Why not wir?” It takes more than 15 years for the most successful tennis nation to play a Grand Slam finalist in the men’s game. Andy Roddick war in Wimbledon 2009 of the American finalist – and in 2003 the US Open was on the last victory in the US.

Nun steht fest, dass es in New York is het verste of een inheimischen Finalisten geben wird. Taylor Fritz, number 12 in the world, and of eight positions behind Frances Tiafoe sich am Freitag in Halbfinal gegenüber. If Daniil Medwedew’s Niederlage is the world ranking Jannik Sinner, it is clear that he will become a new US Open champion.

New Blut in Mix

Michael Russell, Taylor Fritz’s coach, brought the new attack on punk. “The big three have dominated for so long, now there is new blood in the mix.” There is no illustrator who dies as much as the misery of American tennis. Andy Roddick’s title is 21 years ago an American man in a Grand Slam final: four times Roddick and once Andre Agassi. One of the nice men has been lost by Roger Federer.

Fritz has done his best to let Alexander Zverev play in the first four finals, but he is concrete: “The job is not yet empty.” The landsleuth who played Tommy Paul or Tiafoe in the semi-finals has after the 26-year-old Californian as Ansporn. “Ich freute mich wirklich für sie,” he explains. “If you are going to undergo the surrender, then you can buy it.”

The biggest game of your life

On the half-final, the children fell Fritz and the gleichaltrige Tiafoe. “That’s Popcorn-Kino,” said one of them. «That is the greatest play of our lives», the other. They have both found an uninteresting path, know their best qualities and play their time 14. Alternative Regelmässig gegeneinander.

Fritz is in one of the feinst of the war in San Diego, one of the wars between Ur-Ur-Grossväter and the founders of the noble-shop Macy’s. Tiafoe’s parents were born in Sierra Leone plagued by civil war and came as refugees to America. If you are half of the fatherhood at Bau a new tennis center in the federal state of Maryland and bought it, you can train for your las for free. The talent of Frances Tiafoe war schnell augenscheinlich.

Not against Federer this time

If it is good, it is so that most people are etched in the Top 20, but they can still write another story. Tiafoe is in Flushing Meadows for two years in the semifinals and shows a dramatic dramatic event after the evil siege of Carlos Alcaraz. This analysis can take place for Tiafoe, the statistics for the three months of Fritz. There is a direct duel in 2016 started for you.
