2024 US Open Mens Quarterfinals: [4] Alexander Zverev (GER) vs [12] Taylor Fritz (USA)

[Carax]

Terrible to have Kyrgios up there. He sucks at interviews and barely vocalizes.

 

[GhostDog]

Fritz is making the finals.

 

[jss]

Absolutely no inventiveness with these two. Just cowardly tennis.

I miss Federer SOOO much

 

[mike danny]

Sinner vs Medvedev just became an even more real final.

It became the actual final

 

[bigjimbofan]

Fritz impressive record against Tiafoe and Dimitrov. He may very well make the finals.

 

[placebo]

Zverev level hasn’t been the same since Wimbledon…

 

[GhostDog]

Terrible to have Kyrgios up there. He sucks at interviews and barely vocalizes.

Not too mention his outfit! Clearly no dress code.

 

[ibbi]

The two of them really, really raised the level in the 4th set. Each had a winning statline, but Fritz was just better on return.

 

[hades11]

Hope Fritz can challenge Sinner or Medvedev in the final otherwise it will be a snoozefest.

 

[veelium]

Fritz played well, nice˙. Also not Zverev which is an added plus.

 

[mike danny]

Wow. Fritz pulls the upset. What a crazy tournament this has turned out to be. Shades of 10 years ago, 2014. If Tiafoe wins tonight, won't that be the 1st time 2 American men have been in the SF at the same USO since Sampras/Agassi in 2002?

Agassi and Ginepri in 2005

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Rolls the second in again, trusts himself off the ground, and gets away with it.

That 2nd one seemed even slower.....a little tight but gotter dunn.

 

[Succession]

Thank you Taylor. Love you forever for this

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner v Meddy really takes all! Massive quarter final!

 

[ibbi]

That 2nd one seemed even slower.....a little tight but gotter dunn.

The first was 73, the second was 81

 

[beezer12]

gonna get clocked by sin city

 

[NoleFam]

Agassi and some other dude in 2005

I just checked and it was Agassi and Ginepri in 2005.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

If tiafoe wins against dimi we guaranteed an American in final. That would be massive!

 

[Succession]

And once again evil has been stopped in its tracks!

Haha yes. Praise be given

 

[bluetrain4]

Andrey Rublev sitting at home watching Fritz about to win a slam QF like

Lol, right. Isn't he still 0-10 in QFs (and the QFs aren't coming as regularly anymore). Fritz was only 0-4 or 0-5 before getting to this SF.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Agassi and Ginepri in 2005

Robby Ginepri, yes.

 

[ibbi]

I really feel like Zverev thought this was his, and he couldn't believe Fritz didn't just hand it to him.

 

[sortof]

If Z wins today he's going to win US open, he's absolutely feeling it and only a zoning Sinner can beat him.

The Zedmug is going to feel something he knows all too well - the pain of not winning a slam (ever).

Oh yes, the Zedmug is absolutely feeling it now.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Fritz has continued to chip away and makes that SF. Big congrats to him. His FH and seeve was fantastic today!

 

[jss]

Kudos Fritz! First Slam Semi.

Tiafoe, Fritz, or Dimitrov will be in a Slam final. Think about that. I'd love it for all of them for different reasons.

Go Dimi!

 

[mike danny]

I just checked and it was Agassi and Ginepri in 2005.

Yeah, edited my post shortly after. I always have to look up his name because I never remember it

 

[Vincent-C]

> If tiafoe wins against dimi

Dog, I hope not.

 

[jss]

Fritz is making the finals.

Has to get past Mr. G first.

 

[Carax]

Not too mention his outfit!

For real. Compare it to Eubanks' drip when he's done interviews this tournament.

 

[bigjimbofan]

I just checked and it was Agassi and Ginepri in 2005.

Hard to believe Ginepri made a major semi.

 

[mike danny]

I just checked and it was Agassi and Ginepri in 2005.

And before that you had Roddick and Agassi in 2003

 

[ibbi]

Lol, right. Isn't he still 0-10 in QFs (and the QFs aren't coming as regularly anymore). Fritz was only 0-4 or 0-5 before getting to this SF.

Yes, this was just his 4th. The other two were Novak, Novak, and Rafa. Rubles is indeed 0-10.

 

[Vincent-C]

Fritz has continued to chip away and makes that SF. Big congrats to him. His FH and seeve was fantastic today!

Yes, good job by Fritz.

 

[NoleFam]

Hard to believe Ginepri made a major semi.

Why would you do Robby like that?

 

[jss]

What do I see...?
DIMITROV in the finals...?

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Very surprised Fritz won, I thought he'd crumble after the second and choke the TB.

 

[ibbi]

Love Grigor, but Tiafoe gotta do this. Come on. It would be a day match, so not quite the same thing, but it'd still be epic.

 

[bigjimbofan]

Why would you do Robby like that?

Because it's true.

 

[ibbi]

Hard to believe Ginepri made a major semi.

The semi and the quarter should have been swapped.

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

If tiafoe wins against dimi we guaranteed an American in final. That would be massive!

I hope Dimitrov spoils the Tiafoe/Fritz party personally.

 

[ChrisRF]

Love Grigor, but Tiafoe gotta do this. Come on. It would be a day match, so not quite the same thing, but it'd still be epic.

I would much rather watch Grigor's backhand than Tiafoe's forehand in a Slam SF, that's for sure. I certainly root for him to even make the final and maybe have a shot at the title.

 

[mike danny]

Hard to believe Ginepri made a major semi.

Thank Coria for that.

 

[bluetrain4]

Yes, this was just his 4th. The other two were Novak, Novak, and Rafa. Rubles is indeed 0-10.

And Musetti this year at Wimbledon. I had to look it up to make sure, lol. I just thought he lost to someone other than Djokovic and Rafa wasn't there.

 

[NoleFam]

Because it's true.

For some reason I read that as Gingrich. I thought you were comparing him to him, not that you know who that is. I guess I need to take a break and rest my eyes for a bit.

 

[zagor]

I really feel like Zverev thought this was his, and he couldn't believe Fritz didn't just hand it to him.

Well that's his problem, you have to take it. Fritz knew that, that's why he went for it in the tiebreak and bossed Zed with the FH to get the first minibreak which set the tone for the rest of the breaker.

 

[Airspun]

he's gotta keep paying up that sweet alimony

 

[MugOpponent]

Zverev exits another slam. Will it ever be his time? This was a great chance with Alcaraz and Djokovic out.

If he didn't make the final with this draw, how is it going to happen?

 

[Nate7-5]

Shocking lack of support in the poll

 

[nolefam_2024]

If he didn't make the final with this draw, how is it going to happen?

Its ok he can still win 1/2 slams but his time is quickly reducing. In 2 years Sineraz would be unbeatable by chumps.

 

[sortof]

Thx Fritz. Really funny how the Zedmug-fans ("Team Z") were ganging together for this one - only to see the Zedmug underperform again. #ABZ
