LONDON — Taylor Fritz turned things around after dropping the opening two sets to defeat two-time Grand Slam finalist Alexander Zverev 4-6, 6-7 , 6-4, 7-6 , 6-3 on Monday and reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
The match, played with the retractable Centre Court roof shut, was the 35th to go five sets at Wimbledon this year, tying the record for the most at any Slam event in the Open era, which began in 1968. The German entered Monday having won all nine sets he played at Wimbledon this year and having held in all 41 of his service games — not even facing a single break point since the first round.Looking ahead to this matchup, Fritz's analysis was rather succinct — and, it turned out, completely accurate.
The key stat, really, was this: Fritz faced only two break points and saved one, while accumulating four and converting two. Fritz joined countryman Tommy Paul in the final eight, giving the United States two men that deep in the tournament for the first time since 2000.
