An American is still going strong at the All England Club.
Fifth-seeded Taylor Fritz defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4) in the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Tuesday.
The San Diego native is now the only active American man to reach the semifinals or better at a non-hardcourt major, which includes Wimbledon and the French Open, and the first American man to reach the Wimbledon semis since John Isner in 2018. Fritz had reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals in two of the last three years, but he finally broke through to the semifinals in his ninth career appearance at the Grand Slam.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” Fritz said, via ESPN. “Having played the quarterfinals here twice and lost in five twice I don’t think I could have taken another one.”

Fritz will await the winner of the quarterfinal tilt between two-time defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz and unseeded Cam Norrie.
Fritz will have a chance to match his career-best finish at a major. He reached his first and only Grand Slam final at last year’s U.S. Open, where he lost to top-seeded Jannik Sinner.
Another American has a chance to follow Fritz into the semifinals. No. 10 Ben Shelton is still alive on the other side of the bracket, but he will be tasked with facing No. 1 Sinner in a quarterfinal match on Wednesday.
In the women’s singles tournament, American Amanda Anisimova is also through to the semifinals. Like Shelton, her next match will come against the top seed, as she will battle No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Thursday.
