Alexander Zverev, the Olympic champion of 2021, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the US Open against Taylor Fritz. Despite being the defending champion, Novak Djokovic was also eliminated early on.
Zverev's lack of aggression and self-confidence led to a disappointing performance, resulting in him missing out on his first Grand Slam title once again. He struggled with his backhand and forehand, and his defeat in the tiebreaker of the first set was evident.
Zverev appeared inhibited and physically exhausted, according to an expert. Despite his dissatisfaction, Zverev did not make any excuses and recognized the poor quality of his game.
His dream of winning a Grand Slam title remains unfulfilled. This loss against Fritz in the quarterfinals of the US Open is a repeat of their encounter in Wimbledon, where Zverev also suffered a defeat.
While Zverev's dream ended, Taylor Fritz advanced to the semifinals, where he will face Frances Tiafoe. Tiafoe, who defeated Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals, will be the first American to reach the final in 18 years.
