I think in the right conditions and the right, like if the court\u2019s decent speed, I feel they\u2019re both beatable. I think several players, if the right conditions are met, you know, if they\u2019re not playing their best. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn tennis, just the way tennis is, some people, there are small margins. You win the big points, someone\u2019s having a really good serving day, a really good day, they\u2019re a little bit off, like they\u2019re very beatable. If you want to tell me how beatable they are on their best day, then that\u2019s a little bit different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, there\u2019s always going to be openings, just depending on the conditions, and if someone has a really good day or a really bad day, it\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Fritz\u2019s Head-to-Head vs Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz<\/p>\n<p>Fritz has only one win in his eight previous meetings against Sinner and Alcaraz.<\/p>\n<p>That victory came against Sinner at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/indian-wells\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indian Wells<\/a> in 2021, where Fritz went on to win the title.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Fritz has won just one set against Sinner since then, and has lost all three of his matches against Alcaraz.<\/p>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Taylor Fritz Head-to-head<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Vs Jannik Sinner<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Vs Carlos Alcaraz<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hard<\/td>\n<td>4-1 Sinner<\/td>\n<td>2-0 Alcaraz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Clay<\/td>\n<td>0-0<\/td>\n<td>0-0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Grass<\/td>\n<td>0-0<\/td>\n<td>1-0 Alcaraz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Overall<\/td>\n<td>4-1 Sinner<\/td>\n<td>3-0 Alcaraz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p>The next opportunity Fritz will have to play against Sinner and Alcaraz will be at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/cincinnati-open\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cincinnati Masters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Fritz will now be looking to take advantage of their absences at the Canadian Open, where he will play his first match against Roberto Carballes Baena.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Fritz is one of the top ATP players attempting to disrupt the dominance of Jannik Sinner and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":102205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[1479,1466,1824,62,12335,1464,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-102204","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-atp","9":"tag-carlos-alcaraz","10":"tag-jannik-sinner","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-taylor-fritz","13":"tag-tennis","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114936856250513524","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
