Taylor Fritz vs Lloyd Harris preview

Fourth seed Taylor Fritz will go up against South Africa’s Lloyd Harris in the second round (Round of 64) of the 2025 US Open.

Fritz did not meet expectations during the first few months of the season. His run at the Australian Open came to an end in the third round, suffering a 6-3, 5-7, 7-6, 6-4 loss against Gael Monfils. Subsequently, he suffered consecutive second-round losses in Dallas and Delray Beach.

However, he did bounce back during the Sunshine Double. Following a third-round appearance at Indian Wells, Fritz reached the semifinals of the Miami Open.

So far in the North American swing, Fritz has made it to the quarterfinals of the Citi DC Open, semifinals of the Canadian Open, and third round of the Cincinnati Masters, suffering losses to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Ben Shelton, and Terence Antmane, respectively.

He began his campaign at the US Open with a dominant 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 win over compatriot Emilio Nava.

Harris, on the other hand, has had to deal with injury struggles for a large part of the season. Before the North American Swing, he posted a 0-2 record in hardcourt ATP tournaments and spent most of his time at the Challenger level.

Despite his struggles, Harris has been exceptional during his time in Flushing Meadows. He got past Dan Evans, Sun Fajing, and Daniel Merida Aguilar in the qualifiers. In the first round of the Grand Slam, he defeated Sebastian Baez 6-3, 7-5, 6-4.
