He’s already claimed titles in Stuttgart, where he upset Alexander Zverev, and Eastbourne, defeating Jenson Brooksby. His deep run at Wimbledon, halted in the semifinals by Carlos Alcaraz, stands out as a career best at the All England Club. Quarterfinal finishes in Delray Beach, Geneva, and most recently Washington round out a consistent stretch. Statistically, Fritz has racked up 526 aces, won 80% of first-serve points, 27% on first-serve return, and converted 44% of 280 break point chances.

Baena’s season has been more modest. He started strong with a quarterfinal in Auckland and a semifinal in Marrakech but hasn’t made it past the third round since. A psoas injury forced him out of Roland Garros, and his momentum has since cooled. He’s hit 80 aces this year, winning 66% of first serves, 30% on return, and converting 37% of 179 break point opportunities.

My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn’t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
