There will likely be no nightmares tonight for the 27-year-old, who will face Czechia’s Jakub Mensik for a spot within the closing on Friday in Miami.
“There’s two choices. Get annoyed, lose, after which be much more annoyed about all the probabilities I blew, or regroup and get the win,” Fritz stated. “Now I can sleep tonight and never be so mad on the probabilities I blew.”
