It was an incredible day for the Americans at the US Open with Emma Navarro, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe all reaching the semi-finals of the singles, while Taylor Townsend and Donald Young also made it through to the mixed doubles final. Catherine, David and Matt cover it all, including Paula Badosa's collapse from 5-1 up in the second set, an awesome performance from Aryna Sabalenka in the night session, how Zheng Qinwen was affected by her late finish, Alexander Zverev's tendency to get passive in big matches, Grigor Dimitrov's devastating injury, and how the crowd will respond to Frances Tiafoe vs Taylor Fritz in the first all-American men's semi-final in a Grand Slam since 2005.
