Advice and Strategies:

Despite differences between their finals, Kyrgios shared his experience with Fritz. He emphasized the importance of serving well and keeping Sinner at bay. Fans might think this advice could be crucial for Fritz’s chances.

Sinner has been dominant lately, even making top players like Daniil Medvedev look powerless. Fritz needs to serve exceptionally well to stand a chance.

Kyrgios agrees, saying it’s vital for Fritz to minimize Sinner’s opportunities. “Fritz needs one of his best serving days,” he said. “Sinner will try to be aggressive and move him around.”

Besides serving well, staying aggressive on Sinner’s second serve is key for Fritz. The Italian has improved his second serve significantly over the past year.

Before this improvement, Sinner’s second serve was a weak point that got him into trouble often. Now it’s become a strong weapon.

Even though it will be tough for Fritz, Kyrgios believes he can make it competitive if he involves the crowd and plays aggressively from the baseline.

Sinner appeared unbeatable against Tommy Paul but showed vulnerability against Jack Draper despite winning in three sets. If Fritz can elevate his game and get crowd support, he might have enough to challenge Sinner effectively.

“Fritz needs red line tennis from the baseline whenever possible,” said Kyrgios. “Should be a good one.”

In conclusion, no matter who wins at Arthur Ashe Stadium, it promises to be an exciting match with both players showing high levels of skill and determination so far. Fans are likely excited about this showdown! What do you think?
