US Open 2024: Fritz v Tiafoe preview
No.12 seed Taylor Fritz takes on No.20 seed Frances Tiafoe in an all-American US Open semi-final on Friday night.
Coming into New York, Fritz had nothing to show for himself on hard courts over the past six months.
He hit the ground running in New York, however, beating the dangerous Matteo Berrettini in the second round before dispatching No.8 seed Casper Ruud and soon-to-be world No.2 Alexander Zverev in his last two matches.
Tiafoe’s run of form dates back to Wimbledon, where he came to life in a tough five-set loss to Carlos Alcaraz.
He built nicely with a quarter-final in Atlanta and a semi-final in Washington before hitting top gear in Cincinnati, where he beat three top-20 players en route to his maiden Masters 1000 final.
Here in New York, he has kept up his level.
After seeing off Aleksandr Kovacevic and Alexander Shevchenko in the first two rounds, he then prevailed against Ben Shelton before eliminating the in-form Alexei Popyrin and world No.9 Grigor Dimitrov.

Fritz v Tiafoe US Open betting strategy
This match feels 50/50 at best, yet Tiafoe has odds of +200 to win with top tennis bookies, making this bet a no-brainer.
At the very least, Tiafoe should cover the +3.5-game spread at -120.48.
In each of his five matches at the US Open this year, Tiafoe has won at least one set by three games or more.
Even if he does lose, one set like this should be enough to get Tiafoe within three games of Fritz.
This is also a clash that will likely go the distance.
The pair are evenly matched; Tiafoe has a record of 20-4 at the US Open since 2020, while Fritz leads the head-to-head 6-1.
The result should be a five-setter, which pays a handsome +225 at bookmaker Bet365.
