Taylor Fritz he won the battle to become the new American hero to his countrymen Frances Tiafoe, 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 and 6-1 in 3h.18′. He is always looking for the formula against his teammate and generational rival (both 26 years old). Seventh straight win and the dream of reaching the first Grand Slam final at home.
There has been no US representation since then Andy Roddick losing in the 2006 final ‘A-Rod’ actually lifted the trophy in 2003. Eighteen years later there was an American finalist. It remains to be seen whether there will be a champion to break the twenty one year drought.
