Fritz 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, American fifth seed Taylor Fritz defeated 17th-seeded Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 in London to reach his first Wimbledon semifinal.
  • Fritz entered Wimbledon in strong form after grass titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne, while Khachanov sought his first Wimbledon semifinal despite a 0-11 record versus top-five Grand Slam opponents.
  • The match saw Fritz dominate early, drop the third set after a medical timeout for a foot blister, and then prevail in a decisive fourth-set tiebreak despite Khachanov's mid-match resurgence.
  • Fritz concluded the match with 16 aces and a peak serve speed of 138 mph, joining fellow American men Tiafoe and Shelton as players with multiple appearances in major semifinals, and is now set to face either Carlos Alcaraz or Cameron Norrie in the next round.
  • Fritz's win marks the first time since 2018 an American man reached Wimbledon semifinals and suggests a notable breakthrough on grass for American men's tennis.
