(All times Eastern)
7:15 p.m.: We’re about five minutes away from the start of tonight’s contest. Those who have spilled into Arthur Ashe Stadium’s concourses will be hoping it’s a modern-day classic.
6:25 p.m.: No matter the winner, there will be a buzzsaw awaiting one of Fritz or Tiafoe in the final. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner punched his ticket to yet another major final with a straight sets victory over Brit Jack Draper on Friday. With 22 grand slam wins this season, Sinner joined a quartet of tennis luminaries in history:

6:20 p.m.: If previous matchups between Fritz and Tiafoe are any indication, it could be a good day at the office for the California native. Fritz has won six of his seven matchups with Tiafoe over the course of their professional careers. It is worth noting that many of those matches have been close. Also, Tiafoe has something of an incumbency advantage at Arthur Ashe Stadium, having reached the semifinals once before. Fritz, meanwhile, has never made it this far in a major tournament before.
6:00 p.m.: Frances Tiafoe continues his trend of sporting NBA jerseys during this year’s US Open, this time cloaking himself in a Carmelo Anthony Knicks jersey. Could such an iconic strip carry the Hyattsville, Maryland, native to gold at this year’s tournament? He’ll certainly be hoping so.
