Prime time at the US Open is traditionally the most electric atmosphere in tennis, and the intensity should be turned up a notch Friday.
Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz will square off at Arthur Ashe Stadium with a berth in the final on the line, the first All-American men's singles semifinal at Flushing Meadows since Andre Agassi beat Robby Ginepri in 2005.
The matchup guarantees an American will make the final in New York for the first time since Andy Roddick fell to Roger Federer in 2006, and the winner Friday will look to become the first U.S. champion at the event since Roddick won it in 2003.
These two know each other well. Born about three months apart, Tiafoe and Fritz are both 26 years old and came up through the junior ranks together. Both of them had their first grand slam experience at the 2014 US Open, falling in the first round of qualifying as teenagers.
Maryland native Tiafoe knows the stage better, having reached the semifinals in 2022 before falling to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in an epic five-setter, but the Californian Fritz has dominated their head-to-head matchups.
Who will prevail in their highest-stakes meeting to date? Here's how to tune in:
