Taylor Fritz s Japan Open journey so far Taylor Fritz will take on Frances Tiafoe in the final of the Japan Open Taylor Fritz kickstarted his Japan Open campaign with a win against James Duckworth. The American fired 24 aces as he beat Duckworth 6-2, 6-7(2), 6-1 to set up a clash with Hiroki Moriya in the second round. Against Miroya, Fritz won the first set comfortably but was outclassed by the Japanese in the second set. In the deciding set, the American held his nerve to win 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. The 24-year-old smashed 14 aces in the match and registered just three double faults. The top 10 player was meant to face Nick Kyrgios in the quarterfinal match. However, the Australian pulled out of the event minutes before the match due to a left knee injury. In the penultimate match of the tournament, third seed Fritz beat Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 5-7(5), 6-3. Fritz made a strong comeback from 1-3 down in the third set to win the match and book his spot in the summit clash.
