Frances Tiafoe and Alex Michelsen will meet in the U.S. Open quarterfinals. Ben Shelton is there as well, set to face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. The American men are making a real run at ending their lengthy Grand Slam drought. The U.S. hasn’t had a men’s major champion since Andy Roddick won in Flushing Meadows in 2003, and there haven’t even been many great opportunities in the more than two decades since. But backed by the home crowd and in good form, the Americans had five players in the final 16 of a major for the first time since 1995.
