US EditionFritz Into Wimbledon Semis After Holding Off Khachanov Comeback
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 8 – Taylor Fritz overcame a foot injury to become the first American man since 2018 to reach the Wimbledon semifinals, boasting a 13-1 grass-court record this season, officials said.
- On Tuesday, July 8, 2025, American fifth-seeded Taylor Fritz defeated 17th-seeded Russian Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 at Wimbledon to reach the semifinals for the first time.
- Fritz entered the match in strong form after winning titles at Stuttgart and Eastbourne and a 13-1 grass record while Khachanov sought his first Wimbledon semi and held a 0-11 Grand Slam record versus top-five opponents.
- Khachanov controlled the early stages by winning 40 out of 47 points on his serve during the first two sets without facing any break opportunities, but after a mid-match dip in form and receiving treatment for a foot blister, Fritz bounced back to push the match into a deciding tiebreak.
- Fritz ended the match with 16 aces and a fastest serve of 138 mph, remarking that he had never experienced such a dramatic shift in momentum that allowed him to feel so confident and perform so well with both his play and serve.
- Fritz's win marked the first time since John Isner in 2018 that an American male player advanced to the semifinals of a major played on a surface other than hardcourt, setting up a match against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz or Cam Norrie as he aims for his maiden Grand Slam title.
