Stat of the Day: Taylor Fritz has now won his last three matches in a row against Top 10 players

He already had a lot of big wins beforehand, but something’s clicked for Taylor Fritz over the last few weeks, and they're now coming in one after the other.

On Wednesday the American beat No. 6-ranked Andrey Rublev at the Masters 1000 event in Paris, 7-5, 7-6 (2), and in doing so he’s now on a three-match winning streak against Top 10 players, a four-match winning streak against Top 20 players and a five-match winning streak against Top 30 players.

He’s won 10 of his last 12 matches, a stretch that has taken him to the semifinals of Indian Wells, the final of St. Petersburg and now the third round in Paris.
