Intrigue: Will Murray manage a top 10 player?
Three-time Slams champion and former world No. 1 Andy Murray is slowly returning to his former positions. He already seeded the Washington 500, and now he faces a top 10 player. It is curious that the last time the Briton defeated the current tennis player decades ago on the Stuttgart grass – it was Stefanos Tsitsipas. Will Andy be able to handle Fritz now? This fight did not take place the day before due to rain, and the winner must also play the 1/4 final on Friday.
