Will Big Foe make it to the final of the US Open 2024?

Frances Tiafoe is a complete surprise in the semi-finals of the US Open 2024. “Big Foe”, as the American is also known, now has realistic hopes of reaching the final. However, he will have to beat compatriot Taylor Fritz to do so. As you can see from our Fritz vs. Tiafoe betting tip, we are leaning towards a surprise

In the quarter-finals, “Big Foe” prevailed against the ailing Dimitrov. After three sets (2:1) and a score of 4:1 for Tiafoe in the fourth set, the ninth-ranked player in the world from Bulgaria retired. Taylor Fritz, on the other hand, eliminated Alexander Zverev, mainly thanks to his risky style of play

For the second time in a row, Fritz prevailed in four sets. The world number twelve had previously eliminated Casper Ruud from the competition in four sets. Frances Tiafoe is now a convenient semi-final opponent – at least according to the head-to-head.

Fritz has beaten his compatriot in the last six encounters. If you want to make a prediction on the world number twelve in Fritz vs. Tiafoe this time, you can also use the Intertops bonus

Taylor Fritz – Statistics & current form

Taylor Fritz was not in the best of form in the run-up to the 2024 US Open. After the 2024 Olympic Games, he suffered major setbacks in Montreal and Cincinnati. In Montreal, Fritz was eliminated in the second round against Korda. In Cincinnati, he even lost to Nakashima at the start of the tournament.

This made the tournament in New York all the more surprising. After winning the first three rounds without dropping a set, Taylor Fritz went on to win two four-setters. The US American dropped the first set against Casper Ruud and then realized his comeback in the following three sets.

In the quarter-final match against Alexander Zverev, on the other hand, Taylor Fritz risked a lot during the match and was rewarded for it. The US American only faltered in the second set and was defeated by “Sascha”. In sets four and five, however, the American still managed to secure his semi-final ticket

Fritz underpins his serving strength against Tiafoe?

The statistics for his own service games were particularly praiseworthy. There were only four break points for his opponent in four sets. Taylor Fritz was able to successfully defend two of these four break points, which was not surprising given his 81% winning rate on his first serve.

The 26-year-old had already shone in his own service games in the previous round. Against Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz not only won 53 out of 63 points on his own first serve, but also had 24 aces to celebrate. It is quite possible that these statistics will also be underpinned against Frances Tiafoe.
