Fritz booked a date with Djokovic in the semifinals of the ATP Finals

THE TaylorFritz emerged victorious with him from the life-and-death struggle Felix Özer – aliasfor the 3rd round of the Green Group at the ATP Finals.

The American will appear in the semi-finals in his first-ever appearance at the event as he cleared the 22-year-old Canadian’s hurdle in three sets to take his second win this week in Turin, securing a ticket to the top four.

After two hours and 47 minutes of battle, Fritz prevailed 7-6(4), 6-7(5), 6-2 to secure second place in his group behind Casper Rudd to complete the 1st Semifinal of the institution, against Novak Djokovic.

Serving in a frenzy, world No. 9 was unbroken by Aliasim, winning 73/90 points behind and saving the Canadian 3/3 break point chances to win the third set with a show of strength for the qualifiers in Torino semifinals.

The 25-year-old made ten fewer unforced errors than his opponent (21 to 31) and took advantage of Aliasim’s deficit from the 2-2 decider to win four straight games and the win at the same time.

Until then, the two tennis players served exemplary. Aliasim had not let his opponent threaten him with a break point until the 2:2 in the last set, but there he collapsed after a three-point saver and saw how Fritz impressively qualified.

The world No. 6 tennis player may have hit more winners than the American (36 against 32) but he didn’t have the solutions to break his serve and was fatally eliminated from the group stage with two losses in three games.
