For the 27-year-old Fritz, this may be a "now or never" scenario, given the number of talented youngsters coming through the Tour. There are excellent odds that the likes of Jack Draper, Jakub Mensik and Joao Fonseca will be making deep runs at slams in the coming years. No American man has won Wimbledon since Pete Sampras in 2000.

Top-ranked American Taylor Fritz continues to make deep runs in the majors. After reaching the U.S. Open final last summer, the world No. 5 has advanced to his first Wimbledon semifinal with a four-set win over No. 19 Karen Khachanov of Russia.

Taylor Fritz defeated No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) to advance to his first Wimbledon semifinal Tuesday, becoming the first American man to reach that stage of the grass-court Slam since John Isner in 2018.
