Taylor Fritz’s poor victory over the number one World Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday in San Francisco was a message throughout the Team Europe. On Sunday Fritz finished his work, sinking the five-time champions Laver Cup with a 6-3, 7-6 (4) destructive performance against Alexander Zverev.
It was a memorable tour for the locals of Southern California, playing in his state at a showcase with the eyes of sports.
“Seeing these people on the bench being pumped, seeing a legend of sport like Andre jumping out of his place and cheering for me, it is impossible not to be so rested and just give everything you have every single point,” Fritz said.
On the other hand, it was a German fraudulent, who was blocked in his two matches of bachelors after Team Europe lost the plot after winning three of the four games on the day of opening.
Team World scored a Saturday cleansing and entered Sunday with the lead 9-3, in need of only two wins to connect their third Laver Cup victory.
Another pure performance from Aussie Alex de Minaur placed the team world in POL’s position with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Jakub Menis, but Carlos Alcaraz stopped the bleeding with a backwards against Francisco Cerundolo who stopped from eliminating and giving Zverev a chance to re-examine, 6-1, 6-4, Saturday.
If Alcaraz was wearing fatigue on Saturday 6-3, 6-2 lost Fritz, he found his energy clearly on Sunday while winning the double match, along with Casper Ruud, Norway (a 7-6 (4), 6-1 win over Reilly Opelka and Alex Michelsen), then hit Cerundolo with a performance with a performance with a performance with a performance. The crowd at her feet at some happened inside, in the center of San Francis.
But even Alcaraz’s exploits could not exceed Fritz at this special weekend for the highest ranking American.
California’s native was fast in the trigger against Zverev hibernation and ran through the opening group, 6-3. Zverev, who left the court from De Minaur during Saturday’s cleansing in the team world, waged a good fight in the second set and gathered from 4-2 down to eventually level things and force a determined tie.
With both benches at their feet, promoting their teammates, the tension was thick and felt for a moment that Fritz could lose the script.
Even in Tiebreak, he had trouble holding the momentum and destroyed a 3-0 lead with the Zverev level at three before changing the edges. But world No.5, the only player in the world of the team that had previously played a Grand Slam Singles final, was up to office.
He withdrew to overcome the victory, winning four of the last five points to give the World World Bota 15–9 the result and placed free benches for a jubilee party in court.
