Frances Tiafoe and Alex Michelsen are set to meet in the US Open quarterfinals, with Ben Shelton also advancing after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas. The trio represents a strong American men's presence aiming to end a Grand Slam drought dating to Andy Roddick's 2003 title. Tiafoe beat Daniil Medvedev 7-6 (1), 6-4, 7-6 (6) to reach his third US Open semifinal bid, while Michelsen remains the only man yet to drop a set, defeating Tomas Etcheverry in straight sets.

Shelton praised his form ahead of a potential clash with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, calling it a chance for 'fireworks.' All four men's matches on Sunday featured U.S. players, with Americans winning three. The last American man to reach a major final was Taylor Fritz in 2022, who lost to Jannik Sinner. The U.S. last had multiple men in the final 16 at a major in 1995, when Pete Sampras won the title.

Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula continue to lead American success on the women's side.
