(Reuters) - Talented teenager Taylor Fritz surpassed Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and John McEnroe to become the fastest American finalist on the ATP Tour after reaching the title decider in Memphis on Saturday.
Fritz, just 18-years and three months, fought back to beat Lithuania's Ricardas Berankis 2-6 6-3 6-4 on his fifth match point and reach the final of the ATP 250 event in just his third on the men's tour.
He is the youngest American to reach a tour final since Michael Chang won the 1989 Wembley title at 17. He will face Japanese top seed and world number seven Kei Nishikori, who is coached by Chang, in Sunday's final.
