Top seed Taylor Fritz will on Sunday battle 12th seed Tallon Griekspoor in the Washington Open semifinals. Taylor Fritz is coming off playing two matches that were three hours apart on Friday. Both matches lasted for more than four hours combined. He defeated 15th seed Andy Murray in three sets in his first match of the day. The match lasted three hours and three hours later he was back on the court for his quarterfinal tie with Jordan Thompson. This match lasted for half the time his duel with Murray took as he won in straight sets. The world number nine is in fine form at the moment as he has won his last seven matches. This streak started in Atlanta where he won his second title of the campaign. Fritz is through to the semifinals for the first time in Washington. He will be confident of making it to the final especially due to the fact that he has defeated Griekspoor once before.

Tallon Griekspoor will be seeking his first win over Fritz here. He has been in fine form in the tournament and will fancy his chances. The Dutchman is playing for the first time in Washington and has won two of his three matches without dropping a set. He defeated 16th seed and crowd favourite J.J. Wolf by the loss of nine games in the last round. This was his 25th win of the season in 37 outings and the 12th on hard court. It propelled him up seven places to 30th in the live ranking. Another win and he will set a new personal world record. Griekspoor is having his best-ever season at tour level. He has won two titles, his first two on the tour, with one coming on hard court. The 27-year-old is now only two wins away from another tour crown. The winner here will advance to a first Citi Open final to face Grigor Dimitrov or Daniel Evans.
