Alex de Minaur vs Taylor Fritz: Preview

The world No. 18, Alex de Minaur has been seeded 14th for the tournament. This will be his 5th appearance at the US Open championships. The young Australian is yet to prove his worth at the bigger stages. His recent appearances at the Cincinnati Masters, Canadian Open, and the Washington Open have just been average. He last played in the Round of 32 of the Cincinnati Masters where he was knocked out 3-6, 5-7 by Gael Monfils.

World No 17, Taylor Fritz had amazed the world at the Championships this year where he fought his way back from surgery within weeks when he hurt himself at the Roland Garros 2021. The 23-year-old American comes through with satisfactory performances at the Hardcourt events prior to the US Open. The last match he played was at the Cincinnati Masters where he lost 6-4, 4-6, 4-6 to Ramos Vinolas.

Alex de Minaur vs Taylor Fritz: Head to Head

Alex de Minaur vs Taylor Fritz: Prediction

Alex de Mianur was the 2020 Quarter-finalist here at the US Open where he lost to defending champion, Dominic Thiem. The 22-year-old loves playing in this part of the season and has previously performed pretty well here always. Known for his swiftness and flexibility, Alex has never struggled to play against his fellow opponent. His groundstrokes and ability to cover the court unimaginably have been just enough to outplay Fritz in the past.

Fritz, on the other hand, will have to focus on his first serves to take control of the match. He surely will be needing to put the ball away early and not engage in rallies with his opponent to be able to win the match. The first set would be crucial for him and if he manages to steal it away from his opponent then who knows he might as well even end up winning the match. But at the moment, we think Alex has all the advantages with him to emerge victoriously.
