Update:

The Italian Open in Rome has seen number eleven ranked Taylor Fritz have a whirlwind run. He started off by beating Italy’s Fabio Fognini in straight sets, before taking down fellow American Sebastian Korda in similar fashion.

Things got more complicated on Tuesday, as it took three sets and a tense tie break to overcome eighth-ranked Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.

And now the 26-year-old San Diego native will need to dig deep to pick up his first Italian Open Quarterfinals win. In order to do that, Fritz will have to overcome third-ranked German Sacha Zverev.

The Italian Open Quarter Final match between Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz will get underway in Rome at 1:30 pm ET on Wednesday, May 15.
