French Open: 'He Cooked Me With Drop Shots,' Says Fritz After First-round Loss To Basavareddy
After Taylor Fritz: After Taylor Fritz suffered a first-round exit at Roland Garros following a shocking defeat at the hands of countryman Nishesh Basavareddy, he stayed upbeat despite the loss, saying his level was not that bad but the Indian American "cooked him" with his drop shots.
In his first appearance in the main draw of a clay court major, the American wild card Basavareddy prevailed on his fourth match point after a titanic fight against his compatriot, securing his first victory at Roland-Garros and his first win against a Top 10 player, becoming the first American to achieve this "double" in Paris since 1996 and Chris Woodruff, who had then beaten Andre Agassi.
In the pair's first ATP head-to-head meeting, Basavareddy often put the seventh seed on the back foot with pinpoint backhand accuracy and deft drop shots.
