Wimbledon Briefing - US Results: Taylor Fritz and Amanda Anisimova lead the way in style

Taylor Fritz advances to the Wimbledon Quarter-Finals for the third time on Sunday when he saw off Jordan Thompson. Albeit the Aussie ace was forced to retire due to injury.

The fifth seed was leading 6-1, 3-0 when the 31-year-old ended his tournament on No.1 Court in what was a shame for the Australian who is one of only a few left up until this point.

Fritz perhaps goes into the latter stages as one of the favourites coming off the back of a superb Eastbourne run where he won a record fourth title. He rallied from the brink against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in five sets and then went the distance against Gabriel Diallo in the second round. He then saw off Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in four sets in the third round.

Fritz was in comparison only on court for 40 minutes against Thompson having spent close to nine hours on court through his first three matches. He had heavy strapping on his right leg and struggled with a back issue in losing to the American.

"It is not the way I want to go through," Fritz said. "I was really excited to play Jordan today. I was excited to play some good tennis and it is just sad. He has been battling. He has been playing five setters. He was out playing a long doubles match yesterday, so he has been battling out here and respect to him for coming out. His body is not right, so I feel bad for him and hope he feels better."

Amanda Anisimova also shined as she came from a break down in the third set to overcome Linda Noskova and reach the Quarter-Finals for the second time in her career.

She likely will make her top 10 debut next week and battled through 6-2, 5-7, 6-4. She needed two hours to win through and the 23-year-old could yet match her best Grand Slam result as a 17-year-old as she stormed through to the semi-finals of Roland Garros.

There she met Ash Barty losing out to the eventual champion. This time she faces Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova looking to seal that berth where she could yet face a certain Aryna Sabalenka.

She has not played the main draw at Wimbledon since the Quarter-Finals in 2022. But she has had a renaissance and has had the best year of her career to date winning the Doha title and has gone from World No.189 12 months ago to a top 10 player likely come the end of the week.
