Alexander Zverev vs Taylor Fritz Preview

Alexander Zverev progressed into the fourth round of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships with a straight-sets win over home favorite Cameron Norrie. Zverev overcame a mid-match scare when he slipped on the court and hurt his knee but was cleared to continue.

Zverev was playing in front of sporting royalty, including Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. And he dazzled in a 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 victory in two and a half hours. He saved five set points in a dramatic and lengthy tie-break in the third set, before prevailing 17-15.

Taylor Fritz, for his part, has dropped just one set in his run to the fourth round. That was in the chaotic second-round win over Arthur Rinderknech. The American kept his composure to beat the rapidly improving Alejandro Tabilo in straight sets in under two hours in the third round.

Alexander Zverev vs Taylor Fritz Prediction

Zverev produced a super performance of baseline solidity and discipline in beating Norrie. He shook off a mid-match slip and a potential knee injury to complete a straight-sets victory but raised concern after the match when he said he was still feeling some pain. Fritz had been carrying an injury after the French Open but has recovered by the looks of things, given his strong performances in the first week. There’s a good chance we’ll get four or more sets here.
