Taylor Fritz won the world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in San Francisco on Saturday, a message from the European team bow. Fritz.
It was a memorable Southern Californian game, in his hometown game, the sport’s eyes played in his home.
“It’s impossible to see these guys sucking on the bench and seeing Andre jumping out of the seat and cheering me on the legend of the sport, it’s impossible to be less fired, but just give everything you have,” Fritz said.
On the other hand, it was a clumsy guy for the Germans, who was hammered in both singles matches as Europe won three of three of four on opening day.
Team World won the game on Saturday and headed into Sunday with a 9-3 lead, with only two wins to get their third Laver Cup Young victory.
Another pure performance from Australia’s Alex de Minaur put the team world at an extreme position, defeating Jakub Mensik 6-3, 6-4, but Carlos Alcaraz stopped bleeding with a rebound performance against Francisco Cerundolo, which took Francisco cerundolo out of the knockout round, took Zverev out of the game and delivered the soldiers’ chances behind him.
If Alcaraz wore a fatigued dress when losing Fritz 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday, he obviously found his energy on Sunday as he won the doubles (7-6 (4) side by side with Norway’s Casper Ruud, 6-1 defeating Reilly Opelka and Alex Michelsen, then won the cerundolo in cerundolo and gained charm in Sanife corndoptial Cermintions and brought it to the center of Sanife and Covers Francisco.
But even Alcaraz’s loopholes can’t beat Fritz to the highest Americans on this particular weekend.
The Californian quickly triggered the sleepy ZVEREV and played 6-3 at the opening. Zverev was kicked out of the court by De Minaur in the Saturday sweep of the team global Saturday, and he had a good fight in the second set and dropped from 4-2 to a final draw and forced a tiebreak in the second set.
Both benches stepped on their admonishment teammates, and the tension was intense, feeling like Fritz might have lost the script.
Even in the tiebreak, he had a hard time maintaining momentum and leading 3-0, while Zverev’s three-pointers were balanced by three-pointers before the change. However, the world ranked fifth, the only player in the world who had previously participated in the Grand Slam singles final, completed the task.
He pulled out of the victory, winning four of the final five points, putting the world in a 15-9 score and providing a bench for a pleasant on-field celebration.
