Taylor Fritz suffered a disappointing early exit at Roland Garros, falling to Germany’s Daniel Altmaier in four sets 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. The fourth-seeded American struggled to find his rhythm, leading to a frustrating performance that left him visibly upset.
After the match, Fritz expressed his disappointment, admitting that he felt he was playing some of his worst points at crucial moments. His frustration was evident as he reflected on his inability to execute his game plan effectively. Despite showing glimpses of his powerful baseline game, he was unable to maintain consistency against Altmaier’s steady play.
Altmaier capitalized on Fritz’s struggles, breaking his serve five times and controlling the tempo of the match. The German, ranked 66th in the world, displayed resilience and tactical awareness, forcing Fritz into errors and preventing him from gaining momentum.
This loss marks Fritz’s earliest exit at a Grand Slam since the 2022 US Open. While clay has never been his strongest surface, he had hoped to build on his previous fourth-round appearance at Roland Garros. Instead, he will now look ahead to the grass-court season, where he has historically performed better.
Despite the setback, Fritz remains determined to regroup and improve his form. His focus will shift to upcoming tournaments as he aims to regain confidence and deliver stronger performances in the weeks ahead.
