Taylor Fritz Advances At Rolex Paris Masters, Chases ATP Finals Spot

PARIS, France (October 28, 2025) — Taylor Fritz notched a victory on Tuesday at the Rolex Paris Masters, defeating his Australian opponent 7-6(4), 6-2. The win keeps Fritz in contention for one of the four remaining spots in the upcoming Nitto ATP Finals in Turin.

Fritz, the fourth seed, showcased his strong serve with 12 aces and 10 forehand winners, marking his 52nd win of the season. After the match, he acknowledged the challenge posed by his opponent’s serve, noting, “It was a tough match. I thought that he served really well in the first set.”

He was impressed with the 72% first serve percentage after the tie-break, explaining, “He was probably serving 80 percent first serves, hitting spots on it. He’s got a great first serve.” Fritz’s focus allowed him to maintain his serve and break through in the second set, leading to his straight-sets win.

Looking ahead, Fritz, who was a finalist at last year’s ATP Finals, awaits the winner of a match between Frenchman and the 13th seed. “It’s gonna be a very tricky match,” he said. “Both of them do a lot of shots that make you uncomfortable.”
