Taylor Fritz aims for Round Of 16 victory over Adrian Mannarino in Queen's Club Championships
The 2023 Queen's Club Championships will witness an intriguing Round of 16 match between the third seed Taylor Fritz and veteran Adrian Mannarino on Thursday (June 22).
The two players have contrasting styles and have met four times before, with each winning twice.
Fritz, who is ranked No. 8 in the world, is coming off a strong performance in the previous round against Bernabe Zapata Miralles, beating the Spaniard in straight sets (6-4, 7-5). Mannarino, on the other hand, had to dig deep to overcome Britain’s Liam Broady in a three-set thriller.
The Frenchman, who is ranked World No. 46, lost the first set 1-6 and trailed 0-2 in the second set before finding his rhythm and turning the match around. He used his crafty left-handed game and his variety of shots to frustrate Broady. Mannarino won the match 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 in two hours and seven minutes.
The upcoming clash will be a test of Fritz’s aggression against Mannarino’s defense. Fritz will look to dictate the rallies with his big serve and forehand while Mannarino will try to neutralize his opponent’s power with his slice and angles. Fritz will also have to be patient and avoid making too many errors against Mannarino’s solid baseline game.
The American has been in good form this season, winning his fifth ATP title in Delray Beach. Mannarino, however, has also shown some signs of resurgence after a disappointing 2022 season.
The match promises to be an entertaining one. Taylor Fritz will be the favorite to win but Adrian Mannarino will not go down without a fight.
