The US Open reaches its semi-final stage, with American men Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe continuing their pursuit of the tournament title. Both outlets note the broader significance: a win would make them the first American men’s Grand Slam champions since Andy Roddick’s 2003 triumph at Flushing Meadows.
Sky Sports and Sky News frame the semi-finals around the prospect of a long-standing home title drought being broken. While neither source indicates who is favoured beyond referencing the question of whether victory is straightforward for other contenders, the focus remains on the American players’ continued “quest” for the championship as the event moves into its final two matches of the men’s draw.
