Taylor Fritz is back in a big ATP tennis final, with only the best of the best left to beat

New York Times  

TURIN, Italy — After nearly 74 matches in 11 months of traipsing across the globe, Taylor Fritz has reached the point where there aren’t all that many players left for him to beat. Now Fritz has become the first American to make the championship game of the ATP Tour Finals in 18 years, when Roger Federer made short work of James Blake. When it was over, Zverev didn’t run from the irony of being one of the few players who has been able to get the best of Alcaraz while struggling to solve the riddle of Fritz. “He has a lot bigger serve,” Zverev said of Fritz, pointing to the staccato points that prevent him from building rhythm.
