Number 7 in world tennis, the American Taylor Fritzprevailed on second round of the Shanghai Masters 1000 before the French Terence Atmaneneither 7-6(4) and 7-6(5).
The match lasted 2 hours and 2 minutes, with 38 minutes played on Saturday before rain forced the match to be suspended, a situation that was repeated yesterday.
Before the suspension, the score was 4-3 in favor of the American, who was able to close out a tough first set in her favor despite the strength of her opponent’s serve, who also knew how to put her in trouble in the second set despite putting bottom in the ATP ‘ranking’ (161st).
Now, Fritz will face Japanese Yosuke Watanuki (336th in the world rankings) in the round of 32, who defeated American Brandon Nakashima in the second round 7-6 (4) and 6-3.
