Fritz Survives A Delay And Fonseca Challenge To Reach Quarters At Eastbourne
American Taylor Fritz: American Taylor Fritz overcame a late scare from Joao Fonseca of Brazil on Thursday, overcoming the NextGenATP star in a match carried forward from the previous night at the Eastbourne Open, the ATP Tour grasscourt event being played a week before Wimbledon.
The second-round clash was suspended due to darkness on Wednesday evening after they split sets, and Fritz quickly regained his rhythm once play resumed. The three-time champion earned an early break and attempted to serve out the match at 5-3 in the final set before Fonseca fought back.
However, Fritz adjusted well to the windy conditions and a determined Fonseca to prevail 6-3, 6-7(5), 7-5 after two hours and two minutes and continued his love affair with the event. The top-seeded American, who owns the record for most titles won in Eastbourne (2019, 2022, 2024), will have to lace up and return to court later on Thursday to face countryman Marcos Giron in the quarterfinals.
