U.S. Open Semifinals: Shelton Beats Tiafoe; Top Two Women Advance

Ben and Tumaini are recording out on Court 6, where a safari of intrepid influencers are trespassing and posing to their hearts' contents as we break down the semifinals on the men's and women's side. In the all-American semifinal, Ben Shelton bested Frances Tiafoe, with big serving and greatly improved returning. What are his chances of reversing a rough head-to-head against Zverev in the final?  And on the women's side, it'll be a second Rybakina-Sabalenka this final, as both beat Americans to book their spots. Thank you for listening!
