It has been 20 years since Andy Roddick won the men's singles title at the U.S. Open. Could one of three American men bring home this year's title?
It has been 20 years since American Andy Roddick won tennis' U.S. Open, meaning the home of the fourth Grand Slam has gone two decades without a homegrown champion in men's singles. Entering the quarterfinals of this year's tournament, three Americans have advanced, and at least one will be guaranteed to make it to the semifinals.
The winner of their match may have to face another American. Taylor Fritz will take on tournament favorite Novak Djokovic. "Again, this is a group that had a lot of ability," he told reporters."Always had a lot of talent. Guys were doing really well in their age groups growing up. We competed against each other in big matches, juniors, futures, challengers. Now we're at the top of the game.
"Because if one of us does something, the others not only want to do it, too, they now believe that they can also do it because we think we're as good as each other. If he did this here, then why can't I?" Fritz said."I think it's kind of this progression that we've had for a while now, why we're at where we're at. Someone achieves something big, then someone else comes and wants to match him or one-up him, and it's the cycle that keeps going.
