"Doing big things for American tennis": Taylor Fritz boasts impressive season stat despite Shanghai Masters defeat
ATPTuesday, 10 October 2023 at 08:00
World number eight Taylor Fritz has achieved another
milestone with some impressive performances in the recent past.
The 25-year-old has recently taken part in the China Open
where his journey came to an end in the round of 32 where he lost to Argentina’s Diego
Schwartzman with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 7-6.
However, before that, Fritz defeated Yosuke Watanuki of
Japan in the round of 32 with a score of 7-6, 6-7, 6-4.
With that win, he became the first American men’s player to
win 50 matches in a single season since 2008.
Back then, it was the former world number one Andy Roddick who
achieved that milestone.
Despite that achievement, Fritz will be bitterly disappointed
after failing to produce an impressive performance in the big events.
Despite playing in the main round of all the Grand Slams, the
California-born managed to qualify for the quarterfinal or beyond in just one
event — the US Open.
Fritz ended up losing that contest to the current world number
one Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in straight sets with a score
of 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.
Other than that, the American
tennis star was knocked out of the Australian Open in the second, the French Open
in the third and Wimbledon in the fourth round.
