Taylor Fritz claimed a 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(3) victory over No. 4 seed and 2020 US Open runner-up Alexander Zverev of Germany to clinch his first-ever semifinal appearance at a major in his 33rd career Grand Slam appearance.

Before Tuesday night, Fritz had lost each of his four quarterfinal matches at a major, all coming since the start of 2022.

I feel amazing. I’ve had a lot of looks at quarterfinals over the past couple of years. Today felt different. I really felt like it was my time to take it a step further, and it’s only fitting that I’m doing it here on this court at the Open in front of this crowd," Fritz was quoted by US Open website.

It is the second time this Grand Slam season that Fritz has gotten the better of the German, as the American came back from two sets down to defeat Zverev in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon.

Brendon McCullum named England's white-ball head coach

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have confirmed that men’s Test head coach Brendon McCullum will also take on the role of England’s white-ball head coach as part of a strategic restructure of the men’s senior set-up. This signals a move away from the split-coaching model that Rob Key, Managing Director of England men's cricket, reintroduced in 2022 after an eight-year break.

McCullum, who has been at the helm since May 2022, has extended his contract until the end of 2027. He will assume leadership of both the Test and white-ball teams starting January 2025, coinciding with England’s white-ball tour of India and the ICC Champions Trophy.

Marcus Trescothick will serve as interim head coach for the upcoming series against Australia and the tour of the Caribbean later this year.

Commenting on the restructure, Rob said, “I’m delighted that Brendon has chosen to do both roles now with England. I believe we are incredibly fortunate that a coach of his quality is prepared to commit wholeheartedly to English cricket.
