The American Civil War broke out! The Guardiola eliminated Fritz in a double tiebreak, and the Roman Masters made another stir

The men's singles arena in the 2025 Italian Open! Taylor Fritz, the world's No. 4-ranked American No. 1, fought hard in a national-American duel and tiebreaker, but was defeated by compatriot Marcos Giron 7-6(4) and 7-6(3) and missed the third round.

The two sets were defeated again

Fritz encountered a great challenge in this game. Although the scores in the two sets are close, Jilong showed stronger decisiveness and tactical execution in key points. He scored 2-4 in a row and won all three break points at the critical moment, dragging the game into tiebreak, and finally won two tiebreaks in a row to complete the upset.

Giron showed his hard-ground strength. The "unpopular maker" conquered the Roman stands

Although clay is not the venue that American players are best at, Geelong used precise return and aggressive forward shots to restrict Fritz's serving threat in this game, perfectly "dismantling" the opponent's rhythm. The Italian audience unexpectedly turned to the "non-seed" contestant, cheering for Jilong with a rainbow of momentum.

This is the second victory of Giron against Fritz (now a total record of 2 wins and 5 losses), which undoubtedly greatly boosted his morale.

Fritz's hidden danger of abdominal injury has not been eliminated. The Geneva Tournament will be the last preparation before the French Open. For Fritz, this loss came at a bad time - he was deeply troubled by abdominal injuries this season. This Rome Masters was originally an important battle for him to warm up for the French Open, but now he has to turn his attention to the Geneva Open. At that time, he will play with Rude and Djokovic, which will also become his final test before the French Open.

The clay beauty was sluggish, and Jilong and the female player jointly supported the market

The American male player this season only won a championship in Houston, and his form was generally struggling. In contrast, the female players performed strongly: Payton Stearns defeated Case and Danielle Collins defeated Svatech and continued to win.

Now this victory in Jilong not only breaks the silence, but also injects a glimmer of hope into the American men's network. He will challenge Hulkac in the next round. If he advances again, he is likely to face Rude, and the suspense of the life-and-death battle in the Red Earth is full of hope.

Under the night of Rome, new forces in the US Open are quietly rising.
