Fritz eventually fixed the headband, which was right-side-up by the fourth set, but he couldn’t turn things around in his 11th meeting with the 24-time Grand Slam champion.
“I think he gave me a lot more mistakes than he normally does and gave me a lot more looks. I wasn’t doing much, and I was getting all those breakpoint chances the first two sets,” Fritz told press after the match.
“At the end of the day, that’s one of the things that makes the great players great. They win the big points… I’m going to need to go out and take those points from him. He’s not just going to hand them over to me.”
