2) Fritz Looks To Reset: World No. 4 Taylor Fritz has had a disrupted season due to an abdominal injury that kept him off court for a month between his semi-final run in Miami and his return in Madrid. Now healthy, the American is keen to regain his rhythm following an opening-round defeat to countryman Marcos Giron in Rome. The top-seeded Fritz starts against Jaume Munar or Quentin Halys.

Earlier, top seed Taylor Fritz made a winning start in Geneva, where he moved past Frenchman Quentin Halys 6-4, 7-6(5) to reach his third tour-level quarter-final of the season.

The American, who suffered a disappointing opening-round exit in Rome to Marcos Giron, struck 29 winners en route to his one-hour, 37-minute triumph against Halys. Chasing his first title of the season, the No. 4 in the PIF ATP Rankings will play sixth seed Hubert Hurkacz in the last eight. Hurkacz downed Arthur Rinderknech 6-4, 6-1.

6) Fritz leads American hopes: World No. 4 Taylor Fritz is one of seven American seeds in the men’s draw, alongside Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton, Frances Tiafoe, Sebastian Korda, Brandon Nakashima and Alex Michelsen.

Fritz rues 'horrendous tennis on important points' in Roland Garros defeat

Taylor Fritz has battled an abdominal injury for much of this season and rolled his ankle last week in Geneva. While the American has been content with his level of play despite those issues, there is one particular aspect of his game that has plagued him recently: his ability to rise to the occasion on the big points.

After a 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 defeat to Daniel Altmaier on Monday in the Roland Garros first round, Fritz felt that trend continued.

"It's kind of what's been going on a bit lately. I think I'm playing generally fine. It's just a lot of important points, I just am playing horrendous tennis on a lot of the important points," he said. "When I'm break point down, or I've got looks on his serve, like 0/30, 15/30, 30/30, break point — all the pressure, important points... I don't know what's going on. I'm finding ways to just play the worst point possible."

It All Adds Up

Fritz converted just one of five break points in the opening round, while saving just three of eight, according to Infosys ATP Stats. While he said he has been feeling unusually uncomfortable on the clay in recent weeks — his run to the last 16 in Madrid the lone exception — Fritz still feels his game has held up overall.

Looking ahead to the grass-court swing, the No. 4 player in the PIF ATP Rankings is eager to show his top level when it matters most.

"The fact that I'm not just converting big points, not playing big points well, the only way to get rid of that is have a match or a couple matches where that just doesn't happen and I perform well on some of those points," he said. "Once it's gone, it's gone. I'll never think about it again.

"That's the thing. It's tough. It's not something you can really fix in practice. I felt great about my game in practice. Overall I don't think I'm playing bad 90 per cent of the match, by any means. In any of the matches I played, by the way. The match last week in Geneva, the match just now, I think for 90 per cent of the match I'm playing normal. It's the 10 per cent which ultimately decides the tennis match, the really big points where it actually matters."
