Taylor Fritz reflects on his Wimbledon loss to Carlos Alcaraz
Taylor Fritz’s campaign at the All England Club got off to a difficult start as he battled through lengthy matches in his opening rounds, beating Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Gabriel Diallo over the course of five sets. Up next, he beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Jordan Thompson and Karen Khachanov.
For his semifinals match, Fritz faced off against Carlos Alcaraz, and while the American put on a respectable fight, it was eventually the Spanish defending champion who walked away with a 6-5, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(6) win. Reflecting on his loss, Fritz told media after the match,
“I've watched Carlos plenty. For me, I feel like that's the best I've seen him serve. I'm not going to get a look to break him back. First set, done. Second set, did exactly what I wanted to do. Fourth set, did exactly what I wanted to do... I just need to avoid playing the times where the level dips a bit and then he can grab a break and just get ahead of me.”
Overall, Taylor Fritz delivered some strong performances over the course of his grass-court season, winning ATP 250 titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne. Up next, the American will return to action at the Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington, with the event scheduled to take place between July 27 and August 4.
