Fritz is in one Grand Slam semis for the first time in his career. To reach there, he had to beat Ugo Carabello, Berrettini, Comesana, Ruud, and finally, Alexander Zverev, whom he eliminated in the quarterfinals. This was his fourth top-10 victim this year, a major improvement from last year’s 0-11.

The No.12 was better in four sets, winning two of three after tiebreak. When looking at the stats, the American’s were slightly worse, but in the end, he managed to defeat the German and enter the top four.

Meanwhile, Tiafoe’s path up to there was against Kovacevic, Shevchenko, Ben Shelton, Popyrin, and lastly, Grigor Dimitrov, who retired with Tiafoe having the lead, though after three hours of play.

Tiafoe’s first serve was terrible, only 50%. The winner/unforced errors ratio was also poor, at 26/37. The only positive spot in his performance here was break point conversion, with Tiafoe breaking the rival’s serve six times in 14 tries.
