Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton's US Open semifinal marks a historic milestone for Black American tennis, potentially making Shelton the first Black American man to reach the US Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972 and the first to reach a Grand Slam final since MaliVai Washington in 1996, while spotlighting the ongoing need for development and infrastructure to sustain progress in the sport.
Jannik Sinner beat Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 6-2 to reach the Miami Open semi-finals, extending his Masters 1000 consecutive-set streak to 30 and breaking Djokovic's 24-set record while dropping only nine points on serve. He will face the winner of Zverev vs Cerundolo in the last four, with the other semi pitting Arthur Fils against Jiri Lehecka. Sinner is chasing the Sunshine Double after winning Indian Wells and Miami in the same year, a feat Federer last achieved in 2017; he has reached four Miami semifinals in five appearances and won the tournament in 2024.
