Thrilling U.S. Open: Fritz, Townsend, and Djokovic Strive for Glory
As the U.S. Open continues into the fourth round, American players Taylor Fritz and Taylor Townsend face significant challenges. Fritz is the top home contender for the men's title, while Townsend seeks a career milestone. Novak Djokovic perseveres through injuries to advance in the tournament.

In the fourth round of the U.S. Open, American tennis hopes rest on Taylor Fritz and Taylor Townsend. Both athletes face formidable tests as they strive to progress in this prestigious tournament. Last year's finalist, Fritz, is seen as America's best shot for a men's title since 2003.
Despite a challenging path that saw him drop sets against Lloyd Harris and Jerome Kym, Fritz remains focused. On Sunday, he faces Tomas Machac, who has lost twice to him previously. Meanwhile, unseeded Taylor Townsend has been impressive, reaching the fourth round for only the second time in her career.
Townsend, having defeated Jelena Ostapenko and fifth seed Mirra Andreeva, aims for a quarter-final spot against Barbora Krejcikova. Additionally, Novak Djokovic battles injuries yet continues to excel, highlighting his determination to keep competing at high levels despite physical challenges.
