And later on in the year at the NITO ATP finals.
A handful of unforced errors. That's how clean the set had to be.
Ground strokes, they're top notch, aren't they, from Taylor Fritz.
Taylor uses the backhand a lot of the time to get to his forehand.
And then he's versatile on that wing.
Gee, he's got such easy power. It looks like he's not...
Saw it early and went for the line.
Well, he dropped that croy in too short, Taylor.
Let's lay the foundation for these set points.
Game, first set, Team USA.
Simply stunning.
Six games to four.
That is tennis of the highest quality.
From first ball to last in this opening set.
Fritz bags at 6-4.
A couple of weeks ago, went to Togo with his now fiancée.
And a bit of adaptation to some of his...
Gladicism, we know he's got that.
Onto the leading bench at the moment.
He's changed sides.
And I think he's got Coco alongside him.
Guys, I do have Coco here.
Sorry, went to a long point. Let's just see what happens.
Close.
It was the athleticism that won him the point.
But I like the structure at least.
He didn't quite hit the forehand approach as well as he wanted.
No one can deny the athleticism.
I mean, how good was this, Fritzie?
Well, he does the right thing. It's the right play.
Look how deep Taylor Fritz is in.
But maybe he had to take a little bit off that one to give him more time to close to the net.
He's a long way back when he hits the approach.
It takes an extraordinary shot to win the point from Fritz.
Sometimes you've got to hit the ball a little softer to give yourself a little bit more...
It's like hitting a serve and volley and taking the speed off,
hitting a kick like a Stefan Edberg or a Pat Rafter serve.
Give yourself time to get into the net.
But he didn't do a lot wrong on that point, Felix.
So he was beaten by better balls.
Oh, it seems.
Seven games to five, one set to all.
7-5, Felix wins the second.
The forehand.
I should say in that case, a game of millimetres.
For the first time in his career,
Felix Auger-Aliassin gets the better of Taylor Fritz.
A third set drenched in quality from the Canadian.
And it's his first top five win on a hard court in almost two years.
What a turnaround.
And he keeps Team Canada in the mix.
