The head-to-head between the two players is tied at 1-1. Both of their past meetings came in finals, with Rafa beating Fritz 6-3, 6-2 to win the Mexican Open in 2020. The American won 6-3, 7-6(5) to triumph at this year’s Indian Wells Masters.
Rafa on playing Taylor:
“He’s playing well, he’s having an amazing year, winning his first Masters 1000 — against me, by the way, in the final. It’s going to be a tough match, but we are in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon so what can I expect?”
Our champ is bidding to complete the third leg of the Grand Slam — winning all four majors in the same season — by winning his third Wimbledon crown and a record-extending 23rd major men’s singles title. He has never before entered The Championships with the Australian Open and Roland Garros trophies in tow.
GOOD LUCK & VAMOS RAFA!
I just hope Rafa is enjoying this run and winning would make it better!!!!!
Rafa is having a successful year! With ongoing injuries and no time for preparation he finds himself @W in the same circumstances as the AO and RG…He has not played W for 3 years so winning is the key each round is his practice run to reach the final He’s in the QF and finding his confidence and momentum with three games to go! W has not been kind to Rafa over the years drawing Kyrgios for the third time a big challenge for him to win the title but when Rafa does Rafa things anything can happen a TRIUMPHANT RAFA is Joy and Happiness
Good luck Raffa!🍀
Best wishes, Rafa in the qtrfinals round tomorrow against Taylor Fritz. I watched repeat performance of round 4. Enyoyed how you shut down B Van D in the 3rd set tie-break to avoid any complications. Well done! It should be interesting to see how Taylor handles center court! Looking forward to tomorrow!
Good luck and Vamos Rafa❤️
Good luck Rafa….Mac is right pass this test without any drama please
Rafa champ been doing well so far.
Another important test awaits. Wishing you all the best, pass this with flying colors. No drama!
Fingers 🤞🤞🤞. Fritz is playing very well … but Rafa can do this.
I’m glad Sinner is giving him a five set test. But that’s probably all that it is.
Fritz thinks that he can do better. But he really hasn’t played anyone with a good track record in a Major. I think Rafa will win but it might turn out to be the best match of the tournament.
On the issue of the ab tape I’m sure that Rafa is bored with all the physical issues. He’s literally tired of it. Rafa no doubt also wants to avoid giving Taylor or any other competitor information that could impact a future match.
Stay the course, Rafa. Good luck👍👏🤛💪🍀🎾❤️
Djokovic being outdjokoviched today…. though comeback can happen
