No American man has won a slam since Andy Roddick triumphed at Flushing Meadows 21 years ago.
NEW YORK - Whether Taylor Fritz or Frances Tiafoe win Friday's semi-final clash at the U.S. Open, the match will give the host nation plenty to shout about as one of them will get a shot at finally ending the United States' 21-year men's Grand Slam drought.
But with Tiafoe and Fritz playing each other on Friday, a U.S. man is guaranteed to contest a major final for the first time since Roddick lost to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon showpiece in 2009. "There's so much work that's gone into it from the ground up," said Blackman. "Trying to change the culture, trying to create more developmental opportunities for all these juniors."
