Taylor Fritz was facing Felix Auger-Aliassime who like himself has had the breakout year of his career albeit at different ends of the tennis year with the Canadian coming into his own as of late.
But he won't add the ATP Finals to his title haul this week as Fritz took him down in a winner takes all clash on Thursday evening in Turin and reaches the semi-finals on debut 7-6(4), 6-7(5), 6-2.
A close tie over the first two sets, Fritz pulled away in the decider to seal his spot and was strong on serve throughout producing 88 per cent (50/57) of his first-service points and saved all three break points he faced sealing victory on his first match point.
In addition, he extends his head to head to 2-0 against Auger-Aliassime and will face Novak Djokovic next on Saturday while Casper Ruud faces Stefanos Tsitsipas or Andrey Rublev.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
