Not long ago on the grass court of Wimbledon, Fritz beat Zverev to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, but his journey met with a disappointing ending when he lost to Lorenzo Musetti. However, with his recent performance, it seems like the 26-year-old has left all that in the past and is ready to put up a tough battle on the hard courts of the U.S. Open.
