Taylor Fritz backs up confident claim with U S Open triumph against Casper Ruud

Taylor Fritz backs up confident claim with us open Triumph against Casper Roode Casper Roode is out of the US Open after losing in four sets against Taylor Fritz 6 to3 4-6 3-6 2-6 but the American predicted the result before the match Taylor Fritz the highest seated American at the US Open has reached the quarterfinal stage for the second successive year after beating number eight seed Casper Roode Fritz issued a warning to his opponent ahead of sun to's match and backed up a statement with his first ever Grand Slam win against the Norwegian Fritz will face either Brandon Nakashima or Alexander verev in the quarterfinal after coming from behind to beat rude in four sets a crucial break handed Fritz the second set and flipped the momentum of the match and the American continued to grow into the game while rude started making unforced errors I just had to stay in it he outplayed me in the first set he took his chances that was the difference fored set on after the match I did a really good job to fight early in the second apply pressure toward the end I think then his level maybe dropped a little bit and I got through it from there Emma Naro and Coco go unable to avoid each other ahead of us open Showdown you open umpire doesn't know how to react as IG swch hits unexplainable shot I'm happy with how I didn't get too frustrated as I was making a good amount of mistakes I didn't think too much about the head-to-head I just did a good job to stay with it the two tennis stars have met twice previously in major tournaments with Roode winning both contests their most recent meeting was at the French Open earlier this year where Roode won in four sets but Fritz claimed he was playing with an injury Fritz has reached the fourth round of every Grand Slam this year but when he was asked by reporters if he'd find things tough against Roode he responded with extreme confidence honestly I think I'll do exactly what I was doing at the French Open he said I had an injury I was playing through most of the French Open and it really flared up like bad in the third set of that match I finished the match but I don't know why I did I probably should have just pulled out of the match up until that it was pretty even I liked the way I was playing a lot and I think playing exactly like that on a faster surface on hard court is going to give me an even better chance when rude took the first set 6 to3 the home crowd feared the worst with Fritz already starting to to show signs of frustration but Fritz broke rude at the perfect time to tie the match and proceeded to steamroll his way to Victory the US is still awaiting its first men's Grand Slam Champion since Andy rodic back in 2003 and the hopes of the nation are currently pinned on Fritz Tommy Paul is also through to the round of 16 stage and will have the chance to progress to the quarterfinals but faces number one seed Jan nixer Fritz is the top us seed for the reason and it showed on Sunday but the 26-year-old isn't happy settling for being the best in his Nation whoever becomes the next us man to win a grand slam will receive legendary status and Fritz wants that honor if it's me who ends it then that's like my life stream basically so it would mean everything to me he told CBS Sports Fritz has never gone past the quarterfinal stage but is hoping they can change at the US Open don't forget like share subscribe my channel bubo dos news
