- Honestly, I'm quite surprised to find Taylor Fritz in the underdog position today.
- Of course, Alexander Zverev remains the recent Roland-Garros champion and one of the best players in the world.
- But we're talking about an extremely rapid change of surface after two weeks of maximum intensity in Paris.
- And for now, I don't find the German particularly impressive at the start of this grass court swing.
- He's got the job done, granted. But I haven't found the level of dominance he displayed at Roland-Garros.
- His serve is doing less damage, his rallies are sometimes more messy and he still seems to be in the adaptation phase on this surface.
- On the other hand, Taylor Fritz has made a very good impression on me since the start of the week.
- His quarterfinal against Ben Shelton wasn't perfect, but he again showed why he remains one of the best players on the circuit on grass.
- Since the start of the tournament, he's been turning at over 82% of points won behind his first serve.
- In such fast conditions, this kind of statistic becomes a massive weapon.
- And unlike Zverev, Fritz has already been on grass for several weeks.
- He's strung matches together, found his bearings and his tennis seems perfectly calibrated for this type of surface.
- This is an advantage that I find underestimated today.
- What I especially like about this matchup is that Fritz has exactly the weapons to bother the German.
- His serve allows him to neutralize a large part of Zverev's return quality.
- And when he manages to impose his serve +1 pattern, few players are able to get him out of his comfort zone on grass.
- Historically, the head-to-head also goes in his favor: Fritz leads 9-5.
- And most importantly, he has won the last two clashes on grass against the German.
- The fast conditions reduce the impact of Zverev's defensive qualities and allow Fritz to impose his offensive tennis more.
- I also continue to believe that the American is a more natural player on grass today.
- His serve, his early ball striking and his ability to shorten the rallies perfectly match what the surface demands.
- Zverev remains obviously capable of winning this match thanks to his baseline quality and his current immense confidence.
- But if we look solely at the context, the surface and the dynamics of the week, I have a hard time understanding why Fritz is considered the underdog.
- For me, this is clearly a flip here and at these odds, I clearly want to take the American side.
