WIMBLEDON, LONDON — Taylor Fritz is aiming to reach the semifinals of Wimbledon for the first time with a victory over 17th seed Karen Khachanov in today’s action at SW19.

The American enters the match feeling fresh after his fourth-round opponent retired after just 40 minutes in the previous outing.

While Fritz may be one of the best in-form grass players at present, he faces a tough test in world No.20 Khachanov and has lost their previous two meetings, losing on hard courts in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Fritz has 12 wins from 13 matches on grass this season, which saw him win titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne in preparation for the third grand slam of the year, but victory today would secure his best ever finish at Wimbledon and set up a semifinal against either Carlos Alcaraz or Cameron Norrie.
