Frances Tiafoe Targets Second US Open Semi-Final Against Grigor Dimitrov

Frances Tiafoe is looking to secure a spot in his second US Open semi-final as the American takes on Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals. Two years after making a deep run at Flushing Meadows, Tiafoe is once again in top form, overcoming Ben Shelton in a five-set thriller before defeating Alexei Popyrin to reach this stage.

Tiafoe is hoping to end a 21-year drought for American men at the US Open, with Andy Roddick being the last to win the title in 2003. However, Tiafoe faces a tough challenge in the experienced Dimitrov, who has enjoyed a resurgence in the past 12 months and currently holds a 3-1 head-to-head advantage over Tiafoe.

Match Highlights

The match began before 9 PM in New York, with both players showing determination and skill. Tiafoe took the first set 6-3, but Dimitrov responded with a nail-biting tiebreak win in the second set, 7-6. Tiafoe, however, regained momentum in the third set, winning 6-3 and taking a 2-1 lead in the match.

Dimitrov's masterful winner during the second set tiebreak kept the match competitive, but the Bulgarian made twice as many forced errors in the third set, which allowed Tiafoe to capitalize. Despite being tied in sets earlier, Tiafoe now looks poised to clinch the match as he leads in the third set.

Both Players in Top Form

Dimitrov, who has returned to the top ten in the world rankings, has had a strong 2024, including a finals appearance at the Miami Open. Tiafoe, on the other hand, continues to shine on his home soil and hopes to build on his 2022 performance, where he reached the semi-finals of the US Open.

As both players battle it out on the New York hard courts, the match promises to be a thrilling showdown between the American hopeful and the experienced Bulgarian.
