For The First Time In 21 Years

Tweet

It's been 21 years since we last had 2 American men and women into the US Open tennis semifinals. Way back in 2003 we had Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick on the men's side and Lindsay Davenport and Jennifer Capriati on the women's side. This year 3 of the 4 are first timers into a grand slam semifinal. Francis Tiafoe was in last year's semi. He will face his good friend Taylor Fritz. Head-to-head Taylor leads 6-1. By them playing one another, it guarantees we will have an American in the final, something not done since 2006 when Andy Roddick made it losing to Roger Federer. Emma Navarro will face this year's Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka while Jessica Pegula will compete against Karolina Muchova. Karolina has made the French Open final last year losing to Iga Swiatek. I am excited to see the US players finally going deep into grand slams, especially here at the US Open. Do you like tennis? Who do you root for?
