One of the few Americans who escaped mass carnage over the first two rounds of action in London, Fritz is coming off a pair of marathon five-setters and got a much-needed break Thursday ahead of his third-round bout with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Friday after being on court three consecutive days due to extended matches.

Fritz has faced Davidovich Fokina twice already in 2025, and the two are 1-1 against each other. Fritz defeated Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 at the Eastbourne tournament, before Davidovich Fokina won 7-6, 7-6 at Delray Beach.

Rising American tennis star Taylor Fritz, currently number five in the world, booked his place in the third round of Wimbledon on Wednesday by defeating Canadian rival Gabriel Diallo in a hard-fought contest.
