Qualifier Terence Atmane upsets ATP No. 4 Taylor Fritz at Cincinnati Open
French qualifier Terence Atmane earned his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal by defeating world No. 4 Taylor Fritz, climbing 43 ranking spots to No. 93 with 213 points gained.
- Terence Atmane, a 23-year-old French qualifier, stunned world No. 4 Taylor Fritz 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 on Court 3 at the Cincinnati Open on August 13, 2025, to reach the quarterfinal stage of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time in his career.
- Atmane's breakthrough followed a season of struggle, having fallen to No. 180 in March before gradually climbing with modest prior tour-level success and two Challenger titles this year.
- During the tournament, Atmane defeated five players including top seeds Flavio Cobolli and Joao Fonseca, coming from a set down against Fritz while serving 13 aces and winning 82% of first-serve points.
- Atmane said, "That's a crazy win for my young career" and noted he tried to forget pressure and just be himself to stay consistent and rise in the rankings after this career-high performance.
- As a result, Atmane broke into the ATP Top 100 for the first time, ranking No. 93 after gaining 213 points, and will face seventh seed Holger Rune in the quarterfinals, signaling a turning point in his career.
