Fritz Was Atlanta Open Semifinalist
Fritz was a recent runner-up to John Isner in Atlanta, which was his first final since the Mexican Open last February before lockdown, when he was defeated by Rafael Nadal.
Prior to Atlanta, he reached the quarter-final in Los Cabos, losing again to the man who would go on to win the trophy, Cameron Norrie of Great Britain..
Earlier in the year, his best result came in Doha, when he got through to the semi-finals before he lost to Nikoloz Basilashvili.
Last week, though, Fritz suffered a disappointing loss in Washington where he was seeded ten. Given a first round bye, he was then beaten in straight sets by compatriot Denis Kudla.

Duckworth Made to Qualify in Canada
Duckworth is looking to build on the progress he has made in the past few months, reaching the second round of the French Open, and then the third round of Wimbledon, his best ever showing at a Grand Slam event.
That form earned him a spot in the Australian Olympic team, and he reached the second round in Tokyo, before losing to the eventual silver medallist, Karen Khachanov of Russia.
From Japan, he travelled to Washington, but he was beaten in the first round there, losing to the American Tennys Sandgren in three sets.
The Australian had to come through two rounds of qualifying in Toronto to make the main draw.
He beat the Ukrainian Illya Marchenko easily, but was made to fight by the local man Peter Polansky, dropping the first set to the world number 246, before recovering to win in three.
Can Duckworth now surprise a player looking to be in a reasonable run of form?
