 Taylor Fritz vs Felix O'Shaile Assim is a final group stage match for these guys for the 2022 A2B finals. And both guys have to win this match if they're going to get to the semifinal stage. FAA started the year at number 11 in the world and after a late season run ended the year at number six to get to the finals. His win-loss record for the season was 56 wins 25 losses so he was very active on the tour winning four out of the finals that he played, finally breaking that title drought, winning Rotterdam at the start of the year and then going back to back to back winning Florence and to open Basel to really cap off breakout season. His best win of the year was against the world number one Elkaraz in Basel. He also beat Elkaraz another time in the Davis Cup earlier just after the U.S. Open but his worst loss was against the number 205 Van Rythoven in Holland. Now Van Rythoven did have a good season and ended up winning that tournament so maybe it wasn't such a bad loss in hindsight. Fritz started the year off as the number 23 player in the world and after capturing the biggest title of his life in Indian worlds rocketed into the top 10 before settling at number nine in the world to get into the finals. His regular season record was 43 wins 19 losses winning three titles from the three finals that he's played including Indian Wells which is the biggest title of his career. He also won in Eastbourne and in Tokyo a few months ago. His best win was against Rafa Nadal the number four in the world at the time at Indian Wells in that final so Indian Wells a massive moment there for Fritz in his career and his worst loss was actually at the U.S. Open losing to a qualifier ranked 303 in the world fellow American Holt so a big upset there for Fritz from what has been a phenomenal season. These guys have only played the ones before that was at the start of the year at the ATB Cup and Taylor Fritz actually got the win there and a very close three setter so expect something like that in this one. If Fritz is going to win this match he needs to serve well and limit the errors. The errors actually really hurt him against Rude in the end especially in the tie break and his first set percentage was too low he needs to get more first serves in when it matters and also get off to a better start than he did against Rude. Felix is going to win this one he also needs to use his serve and his forehand combination it works so good against Rafa didn't work so great against Rude and the first set is going to be crucial also for Felix to get off to that good start. The stakes are so high in this matchup because the winner gets to go to the semi finals and the loser has to go home and end their season it's going to be very very interesting to see who gets through but I think Fritz might get through. He's been great all week Fritz he beat Rafa he almost beat Rude I reckon he would take out Felix and he would get to the semi final of this event as the guy who wasn't even supposed to play I reckon he's going to win in three sets but let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this matchup.
