Taylor Fritz Explains ‘Frustrating’ Basel Win Over Valentin Vacherot

Fritz survived Swiss Indoors opener 4-6, 7-6, 7-5 over Vacherot, but called it “frustrating” after going “up a break in every set” and letting it slip. He praised Vacherot’s delivery—“most of the match, he was serving two first serves… the second serve is huge”—and his defense. Fritz struck 21 aces. He faces Humbert next, expecting “a lot of big hitting.”
