Wimbledon: Taylor Fritz vs. Karen Khachanov Picks — American Hope to Secure Spot in Final Four? (Jul 8)

A fascinating quarterfinal is set for Wimbledon on Tuesday, as American contender Taylor Fritz collides with Karen Khachanov.

Fritz could set up a blockbuster semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz with a victory, and his recent form will give the American a cause for optimism for winning a first Grand Slam title.

However, Russian player Khachanov has gone under the radar at the All England Club this summer, and he could see this year as his best opportunity to end his Grand Slam drought.

Taylor Fritz vs. Karen Khachanov Head-to-Head Record

Fritz and Khachanov will be clashing for the first time since the ATP Cup in 2020 on Tuesday. The Russian holds the clear advantage, having won both of the previous meetings between the stars on the ATP Tour.

Match Preview

This summer could be regarded as Taylor Fritz’s best opportunity to end his wait for a Grand Slam honor. The American is a two-time quarterfinalist at Wimbledon, but he has only ever reached one Grand Slam semi-final to this point.

The fifth seed has been playing at a higher level throughout the tournament this year, and he should be fresher than his opponent after having a walkover success in the previous round against Australian Jordan Thompson.

It could be argued that Khachanov is growing into the tournament this summer. The Russian has already matched his best-ever appearance at Wimbledon, while his pedigree in Grand Slam events is reflected after reaching two major semi-finals since the start of 2022.

Khachanov’s big serving game was evident in the previous round, as the Russian smashed ten aces in a straight sets success against Kamil Majchrzak. He recorded 92 winners in that success, and he won an impressive 79% of the points on his first serve.

This is a fascinating showdown in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon on Tuesday. Fritz will need to continue his trajectory if he is to book his spot in the semi-finals, and how he deals with the big-serving Khachanov will be crucial.

But, we have faith that the American can come through this challenge in four sets.
