Wimbledon 2025: Taylor Fritz Thrashes Alejandro Davidovich Fokina To Enter Round Of 16
Taylor Fritz turned the tables on Friday at Wimbledon, channelling some of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina’s gritty energy to advance to the fourth round. After two challenging five-set matches to get to this point, Fritz delivered a dominant performance, winning 6-4, 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-1. The fifth-seeded American took two medical timeouts to treat a cut on his right elbow, sustained from diving on the grass—a tactic often associated with Davidovich Fokina—before securing a victory that lasted three hours and 12 minutes. In the fourth game of the second set, Davidovich Fokina charged the net and executed a precise drop shot, forcing Fritz to dive for the ball. He ultimately lost that point and took his first medical timeout of the day during that game.
