The fifth-ranked tennis player in the world, American player **[Taylor Fritz](https://example.com/tags/24593-tejlor-fritc/)**, has advanced to the second round of Wimbledon 2025.

In his opening match, Fritz (5) triumphed against France’s 36th-ranked player **Giovanni Mpetchi Perricard** with a scoreline of 6-7 (6-8), 6-7 (8-10), 6-4, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4.

The overall duration of the encounter was 3 hours and 37 minutes (not including the day’s break). Throughout the match, Fritz delivered 29 aces, made two double faults, and converted two out of six break points. On the other hand, Mpetchi Perricard recorded 37 aces, 13 double faults, and did not earn any break points.

It’s worth noting that the decisive set of their match was postponed to today, July 1, as the first four sets were completed the day before. The umpire made this decision just 40 minutes before the curfew in London, which left Fritz very dissatisfied.

Fritz’s next opponent at Wimbledon will be Canada’s 40th-ranked player **Gabriel Diallo**.
