The semi-final of Atlanta Open 2023 between Taylor Fritz and Jeffrey John Wolf will take place on July 30.
Taylor Fritz delivered a remarkable performance in the ATP Atlanta quarterfinals, reminiscent of his impressive victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Monte Carlo Masters earlier this year. He comfortably defeated Kei Nishikori, who was making his return to the main tour after a hiatus since 2021. After facing challenging losses during the grass swing, Fritz is determined to achieve positive results in the familiar conditions of the United States. In the 2021 ATP Atlanta campaign, he reached the semifinals, where he faced John Isner. However, this year, Fritz has experienced setbacks in the semifinals, losing five out of his last six matches at that stage in various tournaments.
Jeffrey John Wolf advanced to the ATP Atlanta semifinals for the first time, ending Dominik Koepfer’s fortunate run. This success is significant as he couldn’t secure wins in his previous two tournament appearances in 2021 and 2022. Notably, reaching the semifinals without facing a top-50 player has relieved pressure from the American, who faced challenges after leaving the United States earlier this year. However, he has points to defend for the rest of the year, starting with the ATP Washington (500) tournament next week, where he reached the quarterfinals in 2022. Wolf has struggled against top-10 players, losing all of his previous six matches against them, and has also been unsuccessful against opponents seeded #1 in tour-level events.
