Alexander Zverev has lost his last four matches against Taylor Fritz and he admitted that his latest defeat against the American “will hurt more than the other few”.
The German extended his head-to-head record against Fritz to 5-3 when he won their quarter-final clash at the Italian Open in May this year.
However, the American has surged past him as he now leads the H2H 7-5 following victories at Wimbledon, the US Open, Laver Cup and most recently the ATP Finals.
Zverev was the favourite in most of those clashes, but came up short each time against the big-serving Fritz.
The German knows he needs to come up with a plan for his next encounter against the new world No 4.
“He’s an uncomfortable player for me. I think it’s no secret. I think there are players that are more comfortable for some opponents and there are players that are less comfortable,” Zverev said.
“I talked to Carlos about it, which is funny. I mean, I think we have quite a good relationship, quite a good friendship. It’s funny, his very, very comfortable opponents are the complete opposite to me. His uncomfortable opponents are the complete opposite to me, as well. It’s funny how matchups work in tennis.
“For him, I think some of the most comfortable opponents is Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz. For me it’s completely the opposite. He really doesn’t like playing some of the big hitters like a Jannik Sinner. He’s a great player, No 1 in the world, for sure, but I still enjoy playing him.
