Steve Johnson vs Taylor Fritz: US Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Steve Johnson’s career trajectory has taken a notable downturn since the pandemic interruption, with this year being especially challenging for him at the highest competitive tier. Over the past eight months, he has clinched victory in only two main-draw matches within tour-level events. Remarkably, both of these successes occurred on his home ground, specifically in Houston and Newport. Despite facing challenges in recent times, the former world #21 impressively maintained a six-match winning streak in first-round encounters at Grand Slam tournaments. Regrettably, this streak was broken during his most recent appearance in a major tournament’s main draw, the 2022 US Open, where he was defeated by Grigor Dimitrov.

Taylor Fritz has consistently demonstrated impressive performances at home events this year, continuing a trend from the previous seasons that has contributed to his ascent into the top 10. However, his recent form has taken a notable dip just before a significant US tournament. Throughout the US Open swing, he has faced challenges, culminating in a recent Cincinnati Masters quarterfinal match against Novak Djokovic, where he endured a 0-6, 4-6 loss. Despite numerous quarterfinal (or better) results on American soil, Fritz’s performance at domestic Grand Slam tournaments has been disappointing. In nine attempts, he hasn’t progressed beyond the opening week of the US Open, reaching the third round twice. While his 2022 breakthrough season saw success at Grand Slam levels, including a maiden quarterfinal at Wimbledon, 2023 has been less favorable, marked by losses to Popyrin and Ymer in Melbourne and Wimbledon, and being halted by Cerundolo in the French Open third round.
