  • Taylor Fritz defeated Lorenzo Sonego in four sets to reach the Wimbledon fourth round for the fourth time.
  • The American player overcame a first-set loss to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (5) in a two-and-a-half-hour match.
  • Fritz will face either Francis Tiafoe or Alexander Bublik in the next round.

American tennis player Taylor Fritz has advanced to the Wimbledon fourth round for the fourth time in his career, defeating Italy's Lorenzo Sonego. Fritz, the eighth seed, staged a comeback after losing the first set, ultimately winning the match 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (5) after two and a half hours on court.

This victory marks Fritz's fourth win in five encounters against Sonego. The American secured the win by winning the last four points of the fourth-set tiebreak. This marks a significant achievement for Fritz, who had been sidelined for several months earlier in the season due to a left knee tendinitis and had not won a match since March prior to the grass-court season.

Fritz's performance at Wimbledon continues his strong record on grass, with 23 wins and four losses since last season. He aims to at least match his semifinal appearance from 2025 at the All England Club. He is scheduled to play against either his compatriot Francis Tiafoe or Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik in the upcoming round.
