Taylor Fritz is two wins away from winning another ATP title after the top-seeded American outlasted Sebastian Korda 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. The No.7-ranked Fritz held all 17 service games, and he did it by winning 80 percent of his first balls and firing 22 aces. Fritz also rattled off five consecutive points in the third tiebreaker to finish off Korda. Fritz is averaging 17.6 aces per match and winning 79.4 percent of his first serves in 2026.

Apart from a semifinal stint at an ATP 500 event, the former US Open champion has started strong this season, compiling a 6-2 record and reaching the third round of the Australian Open.

Our Taylor Fritz vs Marin Cilic Prediction
Marin Cilic has always been a pain in the neck for Taylor Fritz in all three head-to-head matches. Fritz is 2-1 vs. Cilic in their series, but all three games went to the limit. The last time they played each other, it was at the 2022 Monte Carlo Masters, where the American escaped with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win.
84 percent of the moneyline bets at DraftKings have gone to the favorite, Taylor Fritz. But with Cilic winning 90 percent of his first serves and dropping only two service games in Dallas, it would not be much of a shock if Fritz finds himself in another three-set thriller with the Croatian.
Take Over 28.5 Games (+135). There’s a good chance both players hold all their serves, possibly forcing not one but at least two tiebreakers in this duel.
