Three Americans in the Quarterfinals of a Masters 1000, a First in Over Twenty Years

American men's tennis has been experiencing a resurgence lately, thanks to the rise of Ben Shelton, as well as the notable progress of Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, and Frances Tiafoe.

This week in Toronto, three U.S.-born players have reached the quarterfinals: Fritz, Shelton, and Alex Michelsen. This achievement hadn’t happened in a Masters 1000 since Indian Wells in 2004, when Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, and James Blake made their mark.

Additionally, Fritz yesterday became the first non-European player to reach the quarterfinals of every Masters 1000 tournament on the calendar.
