Taylor Fritz has become the first American since James Blake in 2006 to reach the title match of the ATP Finals, overcoming World No. 2 Alexander Zverev in a thrilling semifinal clash at Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy.
The fifth seed Fritz produced a high-class serving display, struck 32 winners, and became the first player to break Zverev’s serve this week en route to a dramatic two-hour, 20-minute victory.
Into his fifth final of the season, the World No. 5 will aim to win the biggest title of his career when he meets the winner of the second semifinal between Italian Jannik Sinner and Norwegian Casper Ruud tomorrow evening.
