On the third day, the American faced an Argentine again, in this case Francisco Comesaña, whom he eliminated with a categorical 6-3, 6-4 and 6-2; then in the round of 16 he faced Casper Ruud, who managed to take a set from him before falling 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 and 6-2.
Meanwhile, in his last quarter-final appearance, Fritz defeated German Alexander Zverev in a tough match that was decided in four sets with scores of 7-6, 3-6, 6-4 and 7-6.
