Fritz Grinding Through Dallas Test
Taylor Fritz is short on form and fitness right now, but he is still grinding out results. The top seed needed three sets to beat Marcos Giron in the opener before settling for a more routine 6-3, 6-4 win against Brandon Nakashima in the second round.
This is Fritz’s third Dallas quarterfinal. He lost at this stage to Marcos Giron in 2022 and defeated the same opponent in the quarterfinals of the following edition in 2023.
The American is now making his first main-tour quarterfinal since Tokyo last year, where he beat Sebastian Korda on his run to the final.

Korda Responds Well After San Diego Dip
Sebastian Korda looked well below par in San Diego last week, struggling against underdogs before falling in straight sets in the final to Zachary Svajda.
It was an underwhelming week overall for the American. However, just days later he has looked sharper in Dallas, beating Michael Zheng and Frances Tiafoe in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals in his first appearance at the event.
Korda has already played one tour-level quarterfinal this season, losing in straight sets to fellow American Alex Michelsen in Brisbane last month.

Verdict
Taylor Fritz and Sebastian Korda meet at a time when neither is playing their best tennis, but even at this level, Fritz has the slightly higher chance of coming through. Still, this is unlikely to be straightforward. Korda has enough quality to keep sets tight and could push at least one into a tiebreak.
