Fritz Overcomes Two-Set Deficit to Stun Zverev at Wimbledon
American rallies for a thrilling victory in the fourth round
Taylor Fritz produced a remarkable comeback on Monday to defeat No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev in the fourth round of Wimbledon. Despite losing the first two sets, Fritz rallied to win the match in five sets, 4-6, 6-7 (3), 6-3, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (8).
Fritz's Stunning Victory
Fritz's victory was a stunning upset, as Zverev had not dropped a single set in his first three matches of the tournament. The American broke Zverev's serve for the first time in the match in the third set and went on to take the fourth set in a tiebreaker. In the fifth and deciding set, Fritz saved two match points before eventually prevailing in another tiebreaker.
The victory was a major triumph for Fritz, who has now reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon for the first time in his career. It was also a disappointing result for Zverev, who was hoping to win his first Grand Slam title.
