There are three American men in the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the first time since 2005, with Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton all in action on Tuesday.
Fritz, Tiafoe and Shelton give the United States three American men in the final eight at the U.S. Open since 2005, when Andy Roddick, James Blake and Robby Ginepri did it.While Fritz was in the locker room Sunday, waiting to take the court for his fourth-round match, he kept tabs on TV while Tiafoe — a semifinalist in New York a year ago — and Shelton were picking up their victories.
“I always have the same reply: American tennis is going in a great direction, and I don’t know who’s going to be the next to get a Slam, be ‘the next Andy Roddick,’ but I know we’re all on our own path and we’re all doing things our own way and improving year to year,” Shelton said. “I can see it in these guys. Hopefully see the same kind of trend with myself.”
