The Round of 32 match of Canadian Open 2023 between Taylor Fritz and Ugo Humbert will take place on August 9.
Taylor Fritz’s impressive unbeaten streak in this year’s North American hardcourt swing was unexpectedly stopped by Tallon Griekspoor in the ATP Washington semifinals last week. Fritz had earlier secured his second ATP title this season in Atlanta. Notable wins included Andy Murray and Jordan Thompson in Washington, where he even claimed a set against Griekspoor in the semis. Maintaining an 8-0 record in hardcourt opening-round matches this year, Fritz aims to continue this run at the Toronto Masters. Previous attempts in 2016 and 2021 saw setbacks as he was eliminated by Ivo Karlovic and James Duckworth, respectively.
Ugo Humbert, like Taylor Fritz, has enjoyed a comparable level of success since his recent arrival in North America. His only setback was retiring in the ATP Washington quarterfinals last week. Humbert reached the quarterfinals consecutively in Newport, Atlanta, and Washington. He’s now progressed past the first round in Toronto, showcasing his consistent North American tour performance. Despite a tough debut at the 2021 Toronto Masters, facing a seed and losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in a challenging three-set match, Humbert has an impressive record against top-10 players. He’s won seven out of 14 matches against them in his career.
