2024 US Open Mens Quarterfinals: [4] Alexander Zverev (GER) vs [12] Taylor Fritz (USA)

[Aabye5]

Finally! A match we all expected to happen. But who do you expect to win?

Fritz took their last match in 5 at Wimbledon, but this isn't grass. Zverev won in straights in Rome, but this isn't clay. The last time they played on hard was well over a year ago. Zverev leads the overall h2h by a narrow 5-4. Unless we get Medvedev vs Sinner, this could be the match of the tournament.

 

[MeatTornado]

It's Zverev's turn to win. They've flip-flopped the last 8 matches of their H2H, with Fritz winning most recently at Wimbledon.

Zed in 4

Honestly, your analysis is one of the most in-depth I've seen on TTW in a long time

 

[timmyy]

It's Zverev's turn to win

It's science!

 

[Aabye5]

It's science!

I will be cheering for Fritz but my head tells me Z will pull it out.

Pretty much the same.

 

[timmyy]

Same here.

 

[Aabye5]

Is it just me or does Fritz not seem to blossom under the spotlight quite like some of the other players?

 

[I Am Finnish]

It would be good for tennis if Z-Evil wins

Spoiler

come and get me ABZ cult

 

[GhostDog]

50/50 on this match. I'n going with Fritz as he'll have the home crowd, & Zverev is too susceptible letting things get under his skin.

Expecting a 5 setter.

Hopefully, Fritz uses Zverev's easily triggered mind to his advantage.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Let’s hope Chainz wins! Zverev in 4. Hard courts suits him more than grass.

 

[Spin Diesel]

Predicting Zverev slam-matches is like roulette. He may be the favourite but he may as well self-explode. As usual, he didn't dominate his previous rounds, loosing sets here and there against players he should beat more easily. Fritz was more convincing and had tougher opponents but against Ruud he didn't play particularly special. It's pretty much a toss up but I think the Ziraffe will come through in 4 or 5.

 

[Arak]

Zverev in 5. He likes to entertain the crowd and give them their money’s worth with 5 long sets.

 

[Tennisfan339]

I don't think Fritz likes playing on the Ashe. He lost the only 2 matches he's played there, including the blood bath against Djokovic last year. There is a reason why he requets to play all his matches on the Armstrong and the Grandstand... Conditions are so different. This detail shouldn't be overlooked.

Battle of the weak minds, I have spoken

 

[Trip]

Presuming the ankle holds up and isn't an issue, in his current form, I think Zverev is playing too consistent and heavy on his groundies for Fritz to be able to dictate as much as he needs to, to win. Zverev in 4 or 5.

 

[austintennis2005]

I will be cheering for Fritz but my head tells me Z will pull it out.

Why would anyone cheer for Fritz?

 

[sortof]

Luckily Fritz is not the last man standing to prevent the ultimate meltdown. Anyhow, the sooner the Zedmug is defeated the better. Fritz in 5 it will be. #ABZ

The poll closed too early...

 

[Quaichang]

Why would anyone cheer for Fritz?

What’s your problem with Fritz. I am just cheering for the Americans.

 

[NeutralFan]

Son, Why voting is closed? Z in 4.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Bamos.

 

[NeutralFan]

If Z wins today he's going to win US open, he's absolutely feeling it and only a zoning Sinner can beat him.

 

[sortof]

If Z wins today he's going to win US open, he's absolutely feeling it

The Zedmug is going to feel something he knows all too well - the pain of not winning a slam (ever).

Yawns, go away

 

[Paulreedsmith]

Will Z "do it for the boys" this time?

Imagine beeing such a horrible person, only you family are willing to work for you. Even Ferrero was so disgusted by this guy, he could´t keep his mouth shut about it!

I will be cheering for Zverev. He seem very relaxed and confident.

Juan Carlos Ferrero on coaching Carlos Alcaraz: "The opposite of what I lived with Alexander Zverev, it wasn't anymore a life of private jets and high standard hotels"

Fritz. Do it man. Save tennis today.

[ibbi]

Can we get this going already, I need to wash the last match out of my mouth. Their Wimbledon match was a baller, albeit with excuses in play, and on a surface where Fritz is much better than Zverev.

 

[Oval_Solid]

this is jimmy arias?
terrible

 

[bw114]

Zverev's kit is so ugly. Between it and Pegula's kit, Adidas has embarrassed themselves this tournament

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Let’s go Chainz boy!

 

[Succession]

Zverev's kit is so ugly. Between it and Pegula's kit, Adidas has embarrassed themselves this tournament

I think it's the worst kit I have ever seen. Perfect fit for Z.

 

[Trip]

What an atrocious net exchange by both...

 

[Succession]

Fritz needs to continue pulling Z to the net

 

[Succession]

Once again forced to watch this with German commentary. A truly traumatic experience, unless Fritz wins haha.

Good god man. Jump onto the couple websites I'm not allowed to mention here, and stream it from somewhere else!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

That was like Hot Potato.......wait, maybe like patty cake...haha.

 

[Succession]

Good god man. Jump onto the couple websites I'm not allowed to mention here, and stream it from somewhere else!

Hahaha yes. Good call.

Fritz is looking sharp in the first couple of games. Bring the heat bro.

 

[Trip]

Wonder if the ankle is keeping Zverev more so in push mode...?

 

[Succession]

Fritz's return positioning is bold. I love it so far

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice point from Zverev!

 

[Trip]

Yep, he's walking a bit ginger on that ankle. That may become more of an issue as things go on...

 

[Enceladus]

Amazing point, finished off by Sascha's passing shot!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

An absolute bullet from Fritz

 

[Succession]

Yep, he's walking a bit ginger on that ankle. That may become more of an issue as things go on...

What is the issue with his ankle? Did he injure it again?

 

[Succession]

Fritz is looking unfazed so far. Might have a chance to take this set

 

[ark_28]

Does anyone have a live stream link for this match?

 

[Succession]

Fritz' shot tolerance seems to be lower than Z's at the moment, which I absolutely don't like haha

 

[jss]

Does anyone have a live stream link for this match?
