Fritz vs. Djokovic: Matchup, Odds
Fritz has been heralded as America’s “next big tennis hope” for a few years now, and he’s hoping to become the first U.S. man to lift the U.S. Open trophy since Andy Roddick did it twenty years ago. Fritz is the ninth-ranked player in this year’s men’s tournament and heads into the quarterfinals boasting impressive straight-set victories over his opponents in the first four rounds.
The number two-ranked Djokovic is also on a hot streak, having made the final of the U.S. Open lead-up tournament in Cincinnati last month (where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz). He’s had a decidedly more difficult path to advance to the quarters, needing five sets to defeat compatriot Laslo Djere in the third round.
According to the U.S. Open’s AI-powered IBM Insights, Fritz holds a slight edge in stats, winning 87 percent of points on the first serve (compared to 73 percent for Djokovic), and winning 74 percent of points overall while serving. Still, IBM gives the win to the Serbian, with a 54 percent likelihood to win the match. Oddsmakers also have Djokovic as the heavy favorite over the American.
Tuesday’s other U.S. Open men’s quarterfinal matchup is an All-American affair, pitting Francis Tiafoe against Ben Shelton. Watch all the tennis matches for free on ESPN through DirecTV Stream here.
