Tiafoe advanced to the US Open Semifinal after Grigor Dimitrov retired from the match trailing 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 4-1.

This will mark Tiafoe’s second trip to the US Open Semifinal where the American fell to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in five sets.

On Friday, Tiafoe will face off with fellow American Taylor Fritz with the winner advancing to the US Open Final.

No American has advanced to the US Open Final since Andy Roddick lost to Roger Federer in 2006. Roddick is also the last American to compete in any tennis major final, falling to Federer at Wimbledon in 2009.

Will Hardy In Stands At US Open

Clarkson wasn’t the only Jazz representative at the US Open celebrating the American’s run.

Jazz coach Will Hardy was also spotted in New York sitting near Knicks forward Mikal Bridges after Tiafoe knocked off Alexander Shevchenko in an earlier round.

The Jazz will open training camp on October 1.
