As the Miami Open nears its culmination, Taylor Fritz is one of only two remaining Americans in the men’s draw. He is set to face Italy’s Matteo Berrettini in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Miami Open on Thursday. The winner will enter their first ever Miami Open semi-final. While the ranking is in Fritz’s favour, anything is possible when two giant servers come face to face.

Taylor Fritz had a lacklustre outing at Indian Wells, losing in straight sets to eventual winner Jack Draper. His Miami draw didn’t make things any easier for him, as his first two bouts were against Lorenzo Sonego and Denis Shapovalov. But the 27-year-old proved why he is the World No. 4 and made it comfortably to the QFs without dropping a set.

Another player with a similar profile, Matteo Berrettini relies heavily on his serve and forehand. Consecutive losses to Stefanos Tsitsipas possibly pumped up the former Wimbledon finalist – his straight sets drubbing of Alex de Minaur in the Round of 16 was his best performance in a while, earning him a spot in the final eight.

The head to head record between Taylor Fritz and Matteo Berrettini stands at 4-0 in favour of the American. He has dropped only one set in four encounters.

The history of the Fritz-Berrettini rivalry goes back to 2019, when the duo met in the Davis Cup. After dropping the opening set, Taylor Fritz pulled back to give USA the advantage. He has never looked back since then – the 2024 US Open finalist has won seven out of seven contested sets against Matteo since their opening fixture.
