The Australian suffered his third defeat of the tournament, while Taylor Fritz maintains his chances of reaching the semi-finals
American tennis player Taylor Fritz beat the Australian Alexa De Minaura within the third round ATP 2024 Final Tournament.
The match lasted 2 hours and 9 minutes. In the opening game, things slowly went to a tiebreaker, but with the score 5:5, De Minaur took Fritz’s serve and then calmly served for the set.
The fate of the second game was decided by a single break performed by Fritz (6:4 in the end), thanks to which he evened the score in sets.
In the decisive set, there was again a very stubborn fight on the court. The audience again saw only one break – it was made by Taylor Fritz, and thereby retained a good chance of reaching the semi-finals of the tournament.
In the final match of the group, Ilie Nastase, “neutral” Daniil Medvedev will face the first racket of the world, Jannik Sinner. The Italian has already guaranteed himself access to the semi-finals, while Medvedev needs to win exclusively in two sets. His victory, even in three games, will advance Taylor Fritz (who has an advantage due to a personal meeting).
