Taylor Fritz Advances in Shanghai Masters Amid Rain Delays

Posted : 07 October 2024

World No. 7 Taylor Fritz successfully advanced to the third round of the Shanghai Masters on Monday after his match against France's Terence Atmane was suspended due to rain two days earlier. Resuming play at 4-3 in the first set, Fritz secured a hard-fought victory with a score of 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-5). Reflecting on his performance, Fritz acknowledged the challenge posed by Atmane, saying, "I thought he played really well and if I wasn't on top of my game... I definitely could have lost that match."

 

Next, Fritz is set to face Japanese qualifier Yosuke Watanuki in the third round. Meanwhile, world number 10 Grigor Dimitrov also concluded a delayed match on the same day, defeating Belgium's Zizou Bergs with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. Dimitrov expressed his sentiments about the recent weather disruptions, stating, "It's been very challenging the last couple of days, but we just have to make the most out of what we have."

 

American player Frances Tiafoe eliminated the last remaining Chinese player, Zhou Yi, with a 6-2, 6-4 victory. Tiafoe commented on the match, noting that while it seemed one-sided, the second set was particularly tough. In the next round, Tiafoe will take on Russian Roman Safiullin, whom he referred to as a "super dark horse," emphasizing his potential to challenge top players despite an inconsistent season.

 

The tournament has faced significant disruptions due to rain, resulting in the postponement or rescheduling of nine second-round matches over the weekend. Unfortunately, the adverse weather continued on Monday, leading to further interruptions in play, especially on the outside courts.
