Albanese: Fritz carries American hopes into U.S. Open semis
Briefly

"Not too many things are black and white outside of the movies, but there are fewer tennis players more tailor made to play villain than Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz fits the role of the hometown hero perfectly as he strives to end the U.S. men's Grand Slam drought."
"For the uninitiated, the German has twice been accused of domestic violence, and earlier this year reached an out-of-court settlement before facing trial for allegedly strangling his ex-girlfriend. On the court, Zverev is known for his antagonistic, arrogant demeanor."
"The result was a gritty, 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(3) win at Arthur Ashe Stadium, an emotional wave to an adoring crowd, and his first spot in a Grand Slam final four."
