Result

Taylor Fritz handled the all-American second round with the businesslike serving that makes him dangerous here. The No. 6 seed beat Patrick Kypson 6-2 6-2 7-5, landing 70% of first serves and winning 82% of the points behind them, with 19 aces to Kypson's three. The only wobble came late — Kypson converted his lone break point of the match in the third set — but Fritz broke five times overall and kept his error count to 22 against 33 winners. He has yet to drop a set through two rounds.

At this Stage

Ben Shelton's first-round exit left Taylor Fritz the highest seed in his quarter, and he has treated the promotion with due seriousness. The No. 6 seed and 2024 US Open finalist followed a straight-sets opener against lucky loser Dušan Lajović (6-3 6-4 6-3) by beating compatriot Patrick Kypson 6-2 6-2 7-5 — Kypson having come from a set down past qualifier Mackenzie McDonald to reach a Wimbledon second round for the first time. Two matches, no sets dropped, an all-American afternoon filed without fuss. Fritz proceeds to a last-32 meeting with Lorenzo Sonego, the road ahead more open than the seedings ever intended.
