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.

LONDON — Late-night finishes and five-set matches are becoming a habit for Taylor Fritz at this year’s Wimbledon . This time, though, he managed to wrap up his win over Gabriel Diallo before the match was suspended — making sure the fifth-seeded American won’t have to come back on court for a fourth straight day.

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.
