Taylor Fritz defeated Casper Ruud and advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open

Taylor Fritz advances to the quarterfinals of the US Open for the second year in a row. The American tennis player made a comeback against Casper Ruud for the victory with 3-1 (3:6, 6:4, 6:3, 6:2) and delighted the fans in New York.

Earlier in the year, Taylor Fritz lost to Casper Ruud at Roland Garros, but today the two switched roles. The Norwegian player was unable to build on the opening set win and completely relinquished the initiative.

At the beginning, the match developed evenly, but with 4:3 in his favor, Ruud broke through and did not give his opponent a chance to answer. Taylor Fritz gradually found his rhythm on serve and hit 10 aces in the second set. Casper Ruud missed two break points in the seventh game, and at 4-5 he himself was in danger of losing serve and was unable to prevent the tie.

This was the turning point in the match. Taylor Fritz took an early lead in the next two sets and won them confidently.

In the quarterfinals, the world’s number 12 will play against the winner of the match between Alexander Zverev and
Brandon Nakashima.
