Taylor Fritz escaped a decline in the middle of the match, a bold battle from his opponent to another line when Karen Khashanov defeated Russia 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) on Monday to reach the semi-finals in Wimbledon for the first time.
The United States took through two groups with some driving presentations, which do not face one break, only to decline significantly in third place to allow the Kashhanov to return to the match. But after a breakfast fell early in fourth place, the number 5 re -discovered his focus and played a flawless draw to advance to a clash with the defender hero, Carlos Alcaraz, or Britain Cameron Nuri.
“It is a great feeling,” said Fritz, who achieved 16 Asia. “After playing the quarter -finals here twice and lost in five times, I don’t think I could have taken another. I am really happy because I will play the semi -finals here. I feel wonderful to go beyond it. The match was going well for me for two groups, I was never in the match in the match that was never in the match.
The start of the fourth group witnessed another malfunction in the electronic line calling system, when it was called a “error” in front of me from Khathanov, who fell four feet inside the foundation line, “a mistake.” The referee, Louise Azimar-Engel, stopped this point, on the phone to reset the system and the point was restarted. Although anyone was not unjust, Fritz finished it when Khatishanov came forward.
But Fritz launched for 2-2 and since then, the two men raised the level and started playing outstanding tennis. The Russian serves at 5-5 of 0-30, thanks to a great shot. Fritz was not applicable to service again, and he started a tie with ACE 138 miles per hour, two others and ended with it with an open court.
Four years ago, after losing to Alexander Zverev here in the third round, Fritz wrote a note on his girlfriend’s phone, saying: “No one in the entire world is reducing you, you are very good but 40 in the world, get shit together.” Now, he is in the first five places, and reached his first final in the Grand Slam championship in the United States Open last year and is one away from the first Wimbledon Championship final.
He said: “At that time, my arrangement was sliding.” “I was going back from surgery and I felt that I did not play to the level I felt I had to play. It was not supposed to be public. I am really happy how my career over the past four years or so is.
