Fritz’s Remarkable Return: Taylor Fritz made an incredible recovery to feature at Wimbledon earlier this month. The American underwent knee surgery after being taken off court at Roland Garros in a wheelchair, and returned three weeks later. Fritz, who reached the third round at the All England Club, will return to action in Los Cabos, where he advanced to the final in 2019.

Isner, Fritz Survive Three-Set Battles In Los Cabos

Spoiler:

Fritz completes Marchenko win at 1:50am local time Thursday
Second-seeded American John Isner delivered a service masterclass on Wednesday to overcome Evgeny Donskoy of Russia 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(5) in two hours and 12 minutes at the Mifel Open.

In their first ATP Head2Head meeting for eight years, Isner struck 25 aces and won 50 of 55 first-service points (91 per cent) for his 10th win of the season.

How To Watch

“It was a very difficult match, a struggle out there,” said Isner, after he reached the Los Cabos quarter-finals. “I knew it was going to be tough. I didn’t have a lot of confidence coming into the match.

“[At 36 years of age] I just try to stay in shape and take care of my body. It’s not about time on the practice court, but time in the gym and stretching to feel good. I think I do a good job of that.”

Isner now plays Australian Alex Bolt, a 6-3, 6-1 victor over Emilio Gomez of Ecuador.

Fritz

Taylor Fritz needed seven match points to complete a 6-1, 6-7(7), 7-5 win over Illya Marchenko of Ukraine at 1:50am local time Thursday.

The third-seeded American struck 15 aces, and lost just eight of his first-service points (43/51) for victory over two hours and 52 minutes at the Cabo Sports Complex. He will next challenge sixth-seeded compatriot Steve Johnson.

Fritz looked to be on course for a routine win when he clinched the first set in 25 minutes, but having failed to convert three break points in the second set, Marchenko grew in confidence. The Ukrainian saved three match points at 5/6, 7/8 and 8/9 in the tie-break.

The former World No. 49 missed a forehand that would have given him a 3-1 lead in the decider, which featured four consecutive service breaks, and later saved three more match points at 4-5. Ultimately, Fritz held on and completed his 16th victory of the year (16-11) after back-to-back double faults from Marchenko.

Fritz has reached two ATP Tour semi-finals this year at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha (l. to Basilashvili) and the Sardegna Open in Cagliari (l. to Sonego).

Fritz Goes Behind The Scenes In Los Cabos

Spoiler:

The Cabo Sports Complex has been built from natural materials
American Taylor Fritz is competing at the Mifel Open this week, just six weeks after undergoing knee surgery following Roland Garros. While the 22-year-old’s focus is fully on the court, he has found time this week to explore the new tournament venue in Los Cabos, which is built from nature.

The Cabo Sports Complex has been developed by using materials from the land, with the walls and the structure of the area built from natural minerals. Fritz is a massive advocate of the ATP 250 venue that holds the tag line, ‘Sync With Nature’.


“It almost feels like a vacation,” Fritz said. “It is always nice being out here. The whole decoration is built off the land which is really cool. I think this venue is so great for the fans, so I am really excited for the future.”

The complex, which is based by the desert, is only set to improve in the future, with a 3,500 seater stadium court set to be ready for next year. It possess 16 acres of space, which makes it Los Cabos’ largest complex that is available to the public.

Fritz Fights Through, Norrie Sails In Los Cabos

Spoiler:

Norrie and Fritz set seventh ATP Head2Head clash after Los Cabos wins
Third seed Taylor Fritz outlasted countryman Steve Johnson in a 6-4, 6-4 battle on Thursday to reach his third semi-final of the year at the Mifel Open in Los Cabos.

Just over a month and a half ago at Roland Garros, Fritz left the court in a wheelchair after suffering a right meniscus injury, which required surgery. Now, after reaching the third round at Wimbledon (l. to Zverev) in his comeback event, the No. 37-ranked American is back into the last four of an ATP Tour event for the first time since April (Cagliari).

Fritz saved all four break points that he faced across both sets against Johnson. He served 11 aces and won 80 per cent (27/34) of points behind his first serve to close out the victory in an hour and 32 minutes and improve to 3-2 in his ATP Head2Head against Johnson.

Fritz, who reached the final in Los Cabos in 2019, will next face top seed Cameron Norrie as the American searches for his second ATP Tour title.

How To Watch

Norrie, who is making his first appearance as the top seed at an ATP Tour event this week, raced into the semi-finals after dropping just two sets against American qualifier Ernesto Escobedo to win 6-1, 6-1. The Brit, who currently sits at a career-high No. 30 in the FedEx Rankings, won 84 per cent (21/25) of his first-serve points, and broke serve five times en route to victory.

He will look to take the lead in his ATP Head2Head against Fritz as the pair meet for the seventh time in Los Cabos. The American topped Norrie in their most recent clash at the Miami Open presented by Itau in March to level the count at 3 wins apiece.
