Current Form:

Fritz will attempt to bounce back from a straight-set loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas 4-6, 5-7. The American has now lost two matches at the United Cup. The first setback came against Sebastian Baez of Argentina, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Fritz has won 79.1 percent of his first serves in the tournament, but only converted 3 of 15 breakpoint chances.

Hurkacz absorbed his first defeat of the season, falling to Alex de Minaur in three sets 4-6, 6-4, 4-6. After thwarting Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-4 and Tallon Griekspoor 6-3, 7-6 in straight sets, Hurkacz struggled against a much better returner in De Minaur, who broke him twice on 26 return points.
