Taylor Fritz advanced to the semifinals after defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 6-2. In the semifinals, he will compete against 21-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic. Fritz has reached three semifinals this year, each time he’s gone on to win the tournament.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the World No. 9 stated the statistic that every time he reached the semifinals, he went on to win the tournament. According to Fritz, this was the reason for his ranking.

"For me, that is probably the most impressive stat because the difference in points to winning a tournament, losing the semifinals is massive. One of the only reasons why I'm ranked where I'm ranked is because every time I've gone to the semis, I've been able to win the tournament. It's been a big part of my year," said Taylor Fritz.

Fritz also spoke about the importance of serve in indoor hardcourts.

"Holding serve by far is the most important thing on this court, holding serve and returning. But you don't necessarily have to be serving amazing. If you just hit your spots, take care of the serve, it's going to look like everyone is serving incredible," said Fritz.

Fritz added that he is super excited to face Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, who is vying for his sixth ATP Finals title.

"It's a great opportunity. I look forward to playing Novak. Obviously he's one of the best if not the best. He's done pretty well here in the past. I'm super excited for the opportunity," he added.
