Overview

• Fritz defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4) on No. 1 Court to secure his maiden trip to the last four at Wimbledon.
• He is the first American man to reach the Wimbledon semifinals since John Isner in 2018.
• After his win, Fritz praised girlfriend Morgan Riddle for sharing a private 2021 motivational note that he said was never meant for public view.
• The self-penned note urged him to sharpen his game and marked a turning point after he slipped outside the world’s top 40.
• This season’s grass-court titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne helped propel Fritz to a career-high No. 5 ranking.
