Gosh! Fritz has 3 set points on Alcaraz’s serve
And takes the first one to win the set. One set all!
For greater context, there hasn’t been an American male grand slam winner in 22 years since Andy Roddick won the US open
The last American to reach a Men’s singles Wimbledon final was again Roddick in 2009
When you consider the domination of players like Sampras, Agassi, McEnroe, Connors etc it’s a long time
Fritz serving first in this set as the previous two, both players begin the set with comfortable holds
Alcaraz breaks so I jinxed Fritz![]()

Long way back for the American
