  • Taylor Fritz cannot challenge Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals of the US Open as hoped and ultimately loses to the Serb in 3 sets.

Tuesday’s quarter-final affixes

  • Novak Djokovic (SRB/ATP 2) sees Taylor Fritz (USA/ATP 9) 6: 1, 6: 4, 6: 4

Novak Djokovic is in the semifinals at the US Open for the 13th time in his career. The Serb finished the run of the American Taylor Fritz at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, who also had to leave the field as a loser in the 8th duel with the 23-time major winner. For the 7th time he could not win a set.

The match, which lasted 2:34 hours, was a sweaty affair due to the external conditions of 33 degrees Celsius and high humidity. The conditions did not necessarily contribute to the quality of the game: both players acted very incorrectly at times, which was the undoing of Fritz in particular. The 25-year-old left too many opportunities, especially in the 3rd set, to bring about a turnaround. After he had managed the rebreak to 4: 4, he immediately gave up his service.

With his 47th semi-final appearance in a Grand Slam tournament, Djokovic is now the sole record holder, previously he shared the record with Roger Federer. In the fight for a place in the final, he will definitely have to deal with a local again on Friday. He meets either No. 10 seed Frances Tiafoe or youngster Ben Shelton.
