Ninth seed Taylor Fritz will face compatriot Steve Johnson in his first-round match at the 2023 US Open on Monday, August 28.

Fritz is having a stellar year, to say the least. He has bagged two titles, reached the quarterfinals of Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, and Cincinnati, and got to the semifinals at Dallas, Mexico, Monte-Carlo, Munich, Geneva, and Washington DC.

The 25-year-old has a powerful serve and forehand and moves well for his height. Fritz has also been consistent this season, having won 45 of his 64 matches this year.

Fritz has a 4-2 lead over Johnson in their head-to-head record. They have met four times on hardcourt, with the former winning three of them.

Their most recent encounter was in Atlanta in 2021, where Fritz prevailed in a three-set thriller.

Talking about his upcoming encounter against Johnson, Fritz said:

"We've played each other a lot. We know each other well. Yeah, it will be like a fun, fun match. We used to play each other a lot back in, like, I don't even know, a couple of years ago. It's been a while. It's going to be kind of like a throwback match almost."
