Fritz Banishes Brain Freeze to Advance Into ATP Toronto Semis
TORONTO, CANADA, AUG 5 – Taylor Fritz recorded 20 aces to secure his spot in the National Bank Open semifinals, aiming for his 11th ATP Tour win and second Masters 1000 title.
- Taylor Fritz defeated No. 6 seed Andrey Rublev on Tuesday night, August 5, 2025, at the National Bank Open in Toronto to reach the semifinals.
- Fritz aimed to secure his 11th ATP title and his second win at a Masters 1000 event, while Rublev, who was the runner-up in last year’s final held in Montreal, competed in a tournament that Djokovic chose to skip as it expanded to a two-week schedule.
- Fritz broke Rublev at 4-4 in the second set but Rublev responded before Fritz closed the match with his 20th ace in hazy, breezy conditions on Centre Court.
- The final score was 6-3, 7-6, improving Fritz’s career record against Rublev to 6-4 and setting his next match against a late quarterfinal winner.
- Fritz’s win advances him toward Thursday’s title showdown at York University in northwest Toronto amid Djokovic’s absence from the hard-court event.
