In a stunning display of vulgar power, the American began serving<\/a> in a way that constantly kept the Italian on defense. Instead of dictating play, Sonego was hoping to just survive Fritz's service game and then hold his own. He failed in sets two and three.<\/p>\n

Fritz roared back to take the second set 6-3, and then the third 6-4. Even in the games he lost, he appeared to be the alpha of the match. He never dipped in confidence, and he might have been as stunned as anyone as to what Sonego pulled off in the opening set.<\/p>\n

Still, after leading two sets to one, many tennis fans might have assumed it was only a matter of time before the American fully overwhelmed the Italian and moved on to the fourth round.

After a tense fourth round that went quickly due to elite serving, the set ended in a tie-break. Sonego grabbed the lead with a mini-break, but Fritz got it back. He then elevated his play once again, hitting some volleys that will make him a threat in the second week of the major. He took the fourth set in the tie-break 7-5.<\/p>\n
