One week after advancing to the final in Munich, the champion at Delray Beach for the 2024 season advanced to the fourth round of the Madrid Open for the second time in a row, equaling his best finish in the tournament to date.

“I think there is more variety in my game in general,” said Taylor Fritz regarding recent success on clay.

“In my last match before, in the second half against Luciano Darderi, it really showed. I do dropshots, I do a little bit of everything. I feel like I have it, I just never really use it.”

“On hard courts I feel like I have better shots that I can use in those situations, but on clay they work a little better.”

After claiming his first win on clay against a player ranked in the top 20 since beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo in the 2023 season, he is now 5-3 against players ranked in the top 20 this season.

The 18th seed, Baez, who is 15-4 in clay-court tournaments this season, is seeking his third win over a player ranked in the top 20 and his first since the 2023 season. He is also aiming for a place in the fourth round of the Madrid Open for the first time in his career. in his second appearance at the Masters 1000 tournament. But he still couldn’t find the answer to solving the puzzle of the 12th seed.

Awaiting Fritz in the fourth round is the eighth seed, Hubert Hurkacz. To date, the 12th seed is 2-1 ahead in their head to head, including winning their last meeting in the 2023 United Cup season.

In the third round, Polish tennis player Hurkacz beat German player Daniel Altmaier 6-4, 7-6.
