Another home favourite falls and for Fritz, he continues his progression.

Fritz was facing a very inspiring Arthur Rinderknech at the Roland Garros and he beat him in four sets 2-6 6-4 6-3 6-4. It was a very good match with the crowd heavily behind Rinderknech who played an amazing opening set to take it 6-2. Both men played pretty well but the French player risked more in the crucial moments and he was rewarded.

The second set played out a bit differently as Fritz proved better this time around. Both were pretty solid overall but Fritz took things into his own hands when it mattered the most and he got it done 6-4. The 3rd set was once again a great one from Fritz. Rinderknech risked a bit too much and it didn't work out in his favour as Fritz took it 6-3.

The final one was a very good with a pretty crazy finish. Fritz took a break and had the crucial lead but then he allowed the French player to battle back. Fritz once again broke and this time it proved enough though Rinderknech tried to get back into it.

This is tennis theater at its finest! I have no issue w/ the French crowd creating a hostile environment for Fritz, And I have no issue w/ Taylor telling them to kick rocks after he wins These antics are what draw many casual observers in

I actually didn’t mind this at all from Fritz. It became a very DC like atmosphere. Fritz had his emotions bottled up the entire match as it was really difficult to concentrate. He got booed as he walked on court. pic.x.com/Vy7oYUaQT4
