He&#8217;s dangerous because he&#8217;s solid from the baseline. He doesn&#8217;t make many mistakes and has a very good serve, so if you&#8217;re not at your best, it&#8217;s easy\u2026 I had a few break chances. He played well to save the break points.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Taylor Fritz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFritz was joined in the third round by the 17th seed, Frances Tiafoe, who defeated another American, Martin Damm Jr., with a score of 6-4, 7-5, 6-7 (8) and 7-5.\n\nTiafoe achieved an impressive 86% effectiveness with his first serve and saved all three break points he faced, accumulating 13 aces with only one double fault.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>He fought incredibly well. He&#8217;s going to be a nightmare for many.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Frances Tiafoe on Martin Damm Jr.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the beginning of 2020, Tiafoe has won 22 matches at the US Open, surpassed only by Daniil Medvedev (25).<\/p>\n\n\nFritz, for his part, has a record of 23-5 since the end of the French Open, the most tour-level wins in that period.\n\nRight behind him is also the American Ben Shelton (20-6), who defeated Pablo Carre\u00f1o Busta 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in the second round.\n\nFritz and Shelton compete to be the highest-ranked American at the end of the tournament; Shelton, with fewer points to defend, would need to reach the round of 16 and advance one round further than Fritz to surpass him in the ranking.\n\nFritz&#8217;s next opponent will be Swiss qualifier Jerome Kym, who defeated American Brandon Nakashima 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (8).\n\nAnother American to fall on Wednesday was Marcos Giron, who suffered a great comeback by Benjamin Bonzi.\n\nBonzi, a 29-year-old Frenchman, recovered from a two-set deficit to eliminate Giron with a score of 2-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.\n\nAmerican Eliot Spizzirri also lost 6-0, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-4 to the number 32 seed, Luciano Darderi, from Italy.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Fritz Advances to the Third Round of the US Open After Defeating Lloyd Harris American tennis player Taylor Fritz overcame a tough challenge against Lloyd Harris to reach the third round of the US Open, solidifying his outstanding summer season.
