Taylor Fritz Fights Back Tears After Blowing Two-Set Lead In Heartbreaking US Open Exit – WATCH (AP)
\n\nTaylor Fritz is yet to win a Grand Slam, and he might regret not making a deep run at the US Open 2026, which potentially was his best chance to win a major. Fritz was knocked out by Francisco Cerundolo, who came back from behind to win the contest 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 4-6. There was no Jannik Sinner; Carlos Alcaraz is still finding his rhythm after a long layoff due to injury; Novak Djokovic was knocked out in the first round, and Fritz holds a strong psychological edge over Alexander Zverev.
\n\nThe American also had a strong buildup to the US Open, having won in Washington and reaching the final in Cincinnati, but he let go of a big opportunity. He was up two sets and a break against Cerundolo, but somehow allowed the Argentine to pull off one of the biggest shocks of the US Open 2026.
\n\nFritz was visibly emotional and appeared on the verge of tears as he opened up about the heartbreaking defeat, saying that he can't believe how he let that match slip out of his grasp.
