Taylor Fritz has promised more eye-catching entrances during the second week of Wimbledon after he marked a mixed fourth of July for the United States with a four-set win over Lorenzo Sonego.
After hopefuls Tommy Paul, Jenson Brooksby and Michael Zheng exited the day before the public holiday, America’s 250th anniversary was marked by further blows with Serena Williams ruled out of women’s doubles action before more male players crashed out of the Championships.
Fritz made sure not to add any more woe to celebrations across the pond with a gritty 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) victory over Sonego on a boisterous Court Two to make the last 16 at the All England Club for the fourth time in five years.
Another string to Fritz’s bow in England in 2026 has been his emergence as a ‘fashionista’ after sponsor Hugo Boss produced a custom-made white suit for him to wear on to the grass before his tear-away trousers are ripped off in an eye-catching manner.
Quizzed on his new trademark arrival, Fritz smiled: “I mean, I am a little superstitious, so I don’t like to change a winning routine.
