Taylor Fritz Advances to US Open Quarterfinals
American tennis player Taylor Fritz, seeded number 4, has secured his place in the US Open quarterfinals after a solid victory over Czech Tomas Machac, number 21 in the ranking. Fritz dominated the match with scores of 6-4, 6-3 and 6-3, demonstrating an excellent level of play. This victory extends Fritz’s impressive streak, who has won 25 of his last 30 matches. Since the end of Roland Garros, he leads all male circuit players in number of victories. Fritz’s performance was notable, with 14 aces and only two double faults. In addition, he won 91% of the points with his first serve, without facing any break points and sealing the victory in one hour and 38 minutes. This is the seventh time in his career that Fritz has reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament, and the third consecutive at the US Open. He joins Frances Tiafoe (2022-2024) as the only Americans in the last 15 years to achieve this feat at the US Open.In his next challenge, Fritz will face Novak Djokovic, winner of 24 Grand Slam titles. This encounter marks the eleventh time that both tennis players have crossed paths, with Djokovic leading the history with 10 victories. Fritz hopes to count on the support of the American public in this crucial confrontation. The presence of at least one American tennis player in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam has been maintained for six consecutive tournaments, the longest streak since the period between the 2002 US Open and the 2004 Australian Open.“It’s been a tough week for the guys; I guess I didn’t expect everything that happened. I felt really, really good about our chances this week. But I’m happy to be here; I’m happy to be the last one standing at least.”
