However, despite his determined effort, Taylor Fritz’s progression to the semifinals depends on the outcome of the evening session clash between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev at Turin’s Inalpi Arena.
Ranked No. 5 in the world, Fritz had to dig deep to overcome a challenge that almost slipped away. Alex de Minaur, entering the match with two losses and desperate for a breakthrough, brought high energy and aggressive shot-making to the court.
The Australian’s relentless pace and freedom in striking made the contest a stern test for Fritz, who had to keep his composure in key moments.
Fritz skillfully navigated the critical points under pressure. Although De Minaur claimed the opening set and came close to gaining full control, Fritz held firm in the second set, saving two pivotal break points early on.
