🎾 ATP Wimbledon – Fritz vs Thompson
🧠 Form & Context
Taylor Fritz
- 🔥 Battle-tested: Survived five-setters vs Mpetshi Perricard and Diallo, then outclassed Davidovich Fokina in four.
- 🔄 Slam resilience: Had to work harder than most top seeds in R1–R3, but his draw now opens up with Medvedev out.
- 📈 Back-to-back QFs: Reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 2022 and 2024—semifinal bid heating up.
- 💪 Grass confidence: 11–1 on grass in 2025, with titles in Eastbourne and Stuttgart.
- 📍 H2H edge: Leads Thompson 2–1 overall, though did lose their lone grass encounter at Queen’s last year.
Jordan Thompson
- 🩼 Fitness concern: Has survived three five-set marathons this week despite year-long injury issues.
- 🚪 Favorable path: Faced Kopriva, Bonzi, and Darderi—all ranked outside the top 45.
- 🧱 R4 return: First Grand Slam fourth round since 2020—past R4 attempts ended in straight-set exits.
- 📉 Top-5 track record: 0–3 in Slams vs top-5 players; yet to win a set in those matches.
- 🌱 Capable on grass: Known for success in 250-level events, but Wimbledon success is new territory.
