Andrey Rublev, Hubert Hurkacz, and Capser Ruud are also out. Whoever gains Tuesday's fit will definitely be chosen to reach the final.
This will certainly be actually a rematch of the Wimbledon fourth round from previously this summertime, when Fritz came back coming from 2 sets down to prevail 4-6, 6-7( 4 ), 6-4, 7-6( 3 ), 6-3.
