Taylor Fritz has reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon once again, to no one's surprise. The American convincingly defeated Alexander Bublik (7-6, 6-4, and 6-4), making it to this stage at the All England Club for the fourth time and successfully continues to defend his semifinal appearance from last season.
The American number one delivered a very solid performance against one of the most dangerous players on grass and now awaits the winner between Alexander Zverev and Jiri Lehecka. After the match, Fritz analyzed his level of play, explained why he feels so comfortable on grass, talked about his physical recovery, and surprised with his praise for Arthur Fery, the great revelation of the tournament.
A match decided in crucial moments
"I'm very happy. It was a really tough match against him. Winning in three straight sets, especially after losing the serve at the beginning, leaves me very satisfied with how I played. When I had my chances, I took advantage of them, and when he posed a threat with my serve, I managed to come out on top. With two big servers, the margins are always very small."
The secret to his success on grass
"On grass, I position myself extremely close to the baseline. I use a lot of first-step quickness and reach to cover the court. Additionally, I love to use the slice backhand because here the ball stays low, forcing the opponent to hit uncomfortably. This tactic loses effectiveness on other surfaces, where the bounce favors the server after the return. On grass, however, I manage to neutralize many first serves and start points in advantageous positions."
Physically recovered after months on the sidelines
"The last time I felt this way physically was after the US Open, during the Laver Cup and in Tokyo. For a long time, I always played while thinking about knee pain. Now it's fantastic to compete again without that concern. I believe my tennis is in a great moment, although I acknowledge that the matches in Wimbledon have had fewer baseline rallies due to the playing style of my opponents."

Already thinking about his next opponent
"I don't conduct a detailed analysis filled with numbers. I like to observe what I see and feel. When I learn about my opponent, I pay attention to certain patterns, how they hit certain balls, and I absorb information. The truth is that I completely change the way I see a match when I already know who I will play in the next round, focusing on small tactical details."
Taylor Fritz explains the 'Arthur Fery phenomenon' at Wimbledon.
"I trained with him practically the whole week. I was playing very well; in fact, the following week I was a finalist in Turin. But Arthur beat me almost every day. I thought, 'This guy is really good.' I am not surprised at all by his breakthrough at Wimbledon; I knew from then that he could play at a very high level. He is making good use of a draw that has opened up, and his results do not surprise me."
