The World No. 66 delivered a composed and powerful performance to knock out fourth seed Taylor Fritz in four sets—7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1—sending shockwaves through the men’s draw.

Altmaier, known for his grit and clay-court craft, played fearless tennis throughout the two-hour, 41-minute encounter, blunting Fritz’s big-hitting game with a mix of aggression, control, and tactical intelligence.
