Just one match and a formidable opponent stands between Taylor Fritz and breaking a 21-year Grand Slam drought for American men.

Today, Fritz, ranked No. 12, will take on reigning Australian Open champ and No. 1 ranked Jannik Sinner in the finals of the 2024 US Open. It marks Fritz’s first final in a Grand Slam event, while Sinner has reached at least the semifinals of all four major Grand Slams in 2024.

Fritz is the first American man to appear in the final of a major Grand Slam event since 2009; 2006 was the last time an American played in the men’s singles final at the US Open. He earned his spot in the final by beating friend and fellow American Frances Tiafoe over five thrilling sets on Friday night.

Sinner, a controversial figure heading into the US Open, easily earned his spot in the final after a semifinal against No. 25 Jack Draper. Ahead of this year’s US Open, it was revealed Sinner tested positive for trace amounts of the anabolic steroid Clostebol twice in an eight-day period in March; he was not suspended, but was docked ranking points and prize money.

Whoever wins the US Open will also become a cool $3,600,000 richer (and the runner up will still take home $1,800,000).

This afternoon, the final match airs live on ABC and ESPN+.
