Taylor Fritz is set, he will face Alexander Zverev this Saturday afternoon, winner of Carlos Alcaraz, for a place in the final of the Turin Masters. A duel that some journalists had anticipated during the American's press conference following his victory against De Minaur this Thursday.
Note that the two men will face each other for the fourth time in 2024 (2−1 for Fritz) and for the 11e times in their career (5 wins overall).
“I think before the three games this year we had a lot of close games. He beat me at Wimbledon once in five sets (2018). He beat me once at Wimbledon in four tight sets (2021). Previously, I had won twice against him. It wasn't very, I think, one-sided. I have the impression that things were always very close between us. Looking back, I think I probably should have lost at Wimbledon (this year, in the round of 16). The US Open could have gone either way, honestly (four-set victory in the quarterfinals). The match was very close, as is often the case between us. I was able to take the last three matches. It's not like it's easy. I think our games fit together well. He who does certain things best wins. When you have two players who are strong servers against each other, it can always come down to a few points here and there. »
