Number nine in the world Taylor Fritzmaking his ATP Finals debut this year – coming on last for the injured Carlos Alcaraz – he secured qualification for the semi-finals by finishing second in the Green Group behind Casper Ruud, to whom he lost on Tuesday.
In the match that decided everything in this group, 25-year-old Fritz defeated the Canadian Happy Auger-Also22 years old and sixth in the ATP ranking, by 7-6(4), 6-7(5) 6-2, in a very balanced match, in which after two sets without a break and resolved only in the tie-break, the third set ended up seeing Fritz run away with the game winning the last four games.
In the semifinals, Fritz will meet the five-time champion Novak Djokovicwhich he has never beaten in his career.
