American tennis player Taylor Fritz began his U.S. Open campaign with a dominant performance on Tuesday. He defeated fellow countryman Darwin Blanch in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4, in a match held at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Fritz, a finalist in 2024, showcased his formidable serve, delivering 14 aces throughout the contest.

Fritz will next compete against either Mattia Bellucci of Italy or Zsombor Piros from Hungary. The victory provided a strong start for Fritz, building on the momentum of other American players who also secured wins earlier in the tournament.
