What is the US Open semi-final schedule?
Top seed Jannik Sinner and 25th seed Jack Draper will meet in the first US Open semi-final on Friday afternoon before 12th seed Taylor Fritz faces 20th seed Frances Tiafoe in an all-American evening battle.
Sinner, who defeated 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev on Wednesday evening to make the last four, will try to reach his second major final of the season not before 3 p.m. EDT/9 p.m. CEST. Also a semi-finalist at Roland Garros and a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon, he won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.
[ATP APP]It will be the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings' second Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting against Draper, a first-rime major semi-finalist. The Briton defeated Sinner three years ago at The Queen's Club in two tie-breaks for his first ATP Tour main-draw win.
Fritz or Tiafoe, who will play not before 7 p.m. EDT/1 a.m. CEST will become the first American man to reach a Slam final since Andy Roddick at Wimbledon in 2009. This will be the first all-American men's singles semi-final at a Grand Slam tournament since Andre Agassi defeated Robby Ginepri at the 2005 US Open.
Fritz leads Tiafoe 6-1 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series. Their most recent meeting came last year in Acapulco (Fritz won 6-3, 6-4) and they have met in a major just once, at the 2022 Australian Open (Fritz won 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(5).
