The 20-year-old will next face 23-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic.
American Ben Shelton overcame compatriot Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 3-6, 7-6, 6-2 in the quarterfinals of the US Open.
“Feeling like I left it all out here tonight,” said the 47th-ranked Shelton, who is still searching for his first ATP Tour win. “Emotional battle and thanks all you guys for staying so late.”There are not too many sporting events in New York that create more buzz than an all-American clash under the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights at the business end of the season’s final Grand Slam.
“He has won 23 of these , it doesn’t get much better than that,” said Shelton. “It’s been tough the last two matches, I’ve been playing Americans but hopefully you guys bring it for me two nights in a row.” After holding his first two serves Tiafoe had no answers for his opponent’s explosive forehand as Shelton claimed five straight games to snatch the opening set.
