The San Diego-born had an impressive outing in the recently
concluded US Open where he was eventually knocked out from the quarterfinal stage
after losing to the current world number one and the eventual winner Serbia’s
Novak Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.
That result was probably the highlight of the season for
Fritz in the major events as other than that, he failed miserably in all the
other three Grand Slams where he was unable to reach the third round or beyond.
Other than that, Fritz ended up winning two ATP titles this
year. First was the Delray Beach Open in February where he defeated Serbia’s Miomir
Kecmanovic in the final with a score of 6-0, 5-7, 6-2.
Later in July, Fritz
ended up lifting the title in the Atlanta Open where he defeated Australian
Aleksandar Vukic in the final with a score of 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-4.
