–

There will be an American in the US Open final – the first time in a Grand Slam final since Andy Roddick at Wimbledon.

But first, there will be an All-American semifinal.

And at least one American woman in the semis after Emma Navarro took care of business.

Aaaaand – the Donald Young/Taylor Townsend shock dream team makes the mixed final

Also – Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe get shocked in the quarters.

It was an eventful day.
