Competitive tennis is back after a short break but this match was everything but competitive as Shapovalov dismantled Fritz 6-3 6-0.
The first match of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship promised to be an exciting one but it did not live up to that expectation. Shapovalov led the H2H against Fritz convincingly before this match and once again it proved for good reason. Fritz struggled to outhit Shapovalov who stood far behind the line and sent a lot of balls back.
Fritz did not exhibit a lot of patience in his points many times going for very hard shots that rarely hit. The first set was somewhat competitive as Fritz was able to hang in there. Even after losing his serve, he applied pressure on Shapovalov but the Canadian was able to confirm the break after which he added another one to close out the set with 6-3.
The second set did not feature strong play by Fritz whose game completely eroded as the match went on. His frustrations were starting to show as well and Shapovalov was able to cruise rather easily in the 2nd set. IT was 2-0, then 4-0, and then 6-0. A strong match to start off his new campaign and his next opponent will be Andrey Rublev.

- Jannik Sinner is the more complete package imo. Alcaraz 'looks' more talented but can go off totally. Sinner is less prone going off.MrAndreeva07-05-2024

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
- Trickery. Playing the system seems to be a way of life in general these days.
