Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
In their first meeting, Taylor Fritz from the USA, currently ranked World No. 7 and with a career-high ranking of No. 5, will be facing Terence Atmane from France, who is currently ranked World No. 161 and achieved a career-high ranking of No. 118.
Taylor Fritz, a former World No. 1 junior, won his fifth ATP Tour title at the 2023 Delray Beach tournament, which propelled him to his career-high ranking of No. 5. He became the first American player to enter the top 5 since Roddick in September 2009. Additionally, Fritz became the first American man to reach a Grand Slam final since 2006 at the 2024 US Open. To earn his place in the final, he defeated players such as Ruud, Zverev, and Tiafoe in an all-American semi-final. Fritz also achieved a notable victory over Nadal at the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals and won the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells tournament, becoming the first American men’s champion in that event since Agassi in 2001. Prior to these successes, Fritz reached his first Grand Slam fourth round at the 2022 Australian Open and his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2022 Wimbledon, despite starting the season with a record of 0-7 in Grand Slam third-round matches. In 2016, as an 18-year-old wildcard, Fritz reached his first ATP Tour final at Memphis, becoming the youngest American finalist since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990. Fritz has also been involved in team competitions, winning the inaugural United Cup for Team USA in 2023 and contributing to Team World’s victories in the Laver Cup in both 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, he claimed a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in men’s doubles with his partner Paul. It is worth noting that Fritz has a perfect record in opening rounds at the Shanghai event (4-0) and has not been defeated by left-handers in 2024 (8-0). In ATP Masters 1000 events this season, Fritz has a 10-7 record, including a semifinal run in Madrid where he lost to Rublev.
On the other hand, Terence Atmane, 22 years old from France, is currently ranked World No. 161, with a career-high ranking of No. 118 which he achieved in July 2024. Atmane reached the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 Rome tournament after defeating No. 29 Musetti in the second round via RET. He broke into the top 500 in July 2022 and further climbed into the top 200 in September 2023. At his debut ATP Tour tournament in Zhuhai in 2023 as a qualifier, he secured his first tour win. Additionally, he also won his first ATP Masters 1000 match by defeating Thompson in Shanghai in 2023. Atmane earned the opportunity to make his Grand Slam debut at the 2024 Australian Open, where he managed to take a set off eventual runner-up Medvedev in the first round. In September 2023, Atmane had an impressive run in Challenger events, winning his first final and title at Zhangjiagang, where he saved six match points against Sun in the first round. He also won his second title at Guangzhou, saving three match points against Polmans in the final. Throughout 2023, Atmane posted a 35-18 record in Challenger events, including a 19-5 record in tie-breaks. Additionally, he has a career ITF Tour record of 99-54, with five titles to his name, the latest being at the 2023 M25 Anapoima tournament. In the ITF Juniors circuit, Atmane reached a career-high ranking of No. 20, with his performance highlighted by reaching the 2020 Roland Garros boys’ doubles quarterfinals alongside his partner Malgaroli. Atmane’s four ATP Tour wins have all come at ATP Masters 1000 events; he defeated Thompson in the first round of Shanghai last year, then went on to defeat Eubanks and Musetti to reach the third round in Rome in May of this year, and most recently defeated Kovacevic in the first round of this week’s tournament. It is important to note that Atmane has a 0-2 record against top 10 players and aims to become the lowest-ranked player to defeat a top 10 opponent since No. 215 Mochizuki beat No. 10 Fritz in the Tokyo second round last year.
