Suited For Success, A La Federer: Fritz Backs Up Bold Outfit With Imperious Wimbledon Win
Taylor Fritz Vs Dusan Lajovic Match Gallery, Wimbledon 2026: Fritz delivered a flawless performance to cruise past lucky loser Dusan Lajovic 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 on Court One. The sixth seed, a semi-finalist last year, had spent days preparing for British number one Jack Draper, who withdrew suddenly due to an arm injury. The American had to pivot his strategy to face Lajovic, but the biggest talking point was his grand entrance. He stepped out sporting a custom-made, all-white suit à la Roger Federer in 2007. Fritz later admitted that his bold outfit choice added massive pressure, noting that a first-round exit dressed like that would have made him look foolish. But he backed up his attire with an imperious display, firing 14 aces to dispatch the Serbian in just over 90 minutes. Next, Fritz will be in an all-American 2nd-round clash with Patrick Kypson, who defeated qualifier Mackenzie McDonald 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.
