Fritz humiliates Jakub Mensik, his birthday boy, as four American men advance to the final 16 in New York
At the US Open, 18-year-old Czech qualifier Jakub Mensik did not have a good return as Taylor Fritz defeated him. Nineth-seeded American hopeful Fritz pulled off the ultimate party-pooper, giving Mensik just three games in a 6-1 6-2 6-0 triumph.
I was feeling well. Fritz, 25, said, “I kind of had a clear plan of what I wanted to do, how I wanted to play him.” “I made a good recovery. I was moving quite fluidly. Yes, I did play a really good match. Fritz has amazingly only lost 13 games in his first three games in New York. In round four, he will take on the 21-year-old Swiss wonder Dominic Stricker.
Although there hasn’t been a home men’s champion for the USA since Andy Roddick 20 years ago, they have already produced four in the last 16 and could produce a fifth in Michael Mmoh. Tommy Paul defeated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain 6-1 6-0 3-6 6-3, and he will take on Ben Shelton, who defeated Aslan Karatsev of Russia 6-4 3-6 6-2 6-0, ensuring that they will have at least one quarterfinalist.
