The tennis players met each other in Dallas last year and that match ended in a convincing win for Fritz, who gave up just five games to Sock. We reckon that the upcoming match will also be played in Taylor’s favour and he will again outplay his compatriot in two sets.
The tennis players have met each other five times before and the last three matches have been low-scoring. In the last one, Sock managed to take only five games in the match. We expect the upcoming meeting not to go beyond two sets.
This will be Taylor’s first match after his poor showing at the Australian Open.
In Melbourne, Fritz sensationally lost in the second round to Alexei Popyrin (7-6, 6-7, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6) of Australia. It is also worth noting that before that he had problems in his match with Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5).
Fritz’s early exit was a big surprise, especially against the background of his great victories at the United Cup in early January. There he managed to beat Alexander Zverev, Jiri Lehecka, Hubert Hurkacz and Matteo Berrettini.
Last season, Fritz reached the quarter-finals in Dallas, losing to Marcos Giron (4-6, 6-3, 6-7).
Fritz is off to a successful start in eight tournaments in a row.
Sock, meanwhile, has just recently returned to the tour after a nasty injury which forced him to miss January’s main tournaments.
Late last month, he lost to world No. 467 Alex Michelsen (6-7, 4-6) in the first round of the Challenger in Cleveland.
In Dallas, Sock faced a tough opponent early on but has reached the next round this time.
The former #8 player of the world defeated Ilya Ivashka (7-6, 4-6, 6-4).
Remarkably, Ivashka had 18 break-points, 15 of which Sock eventually won. All in all, a very difficult match, which was not without luck.
Sock has lost four of his last five matches against his compatriots.
