Taylor Fritz responds after being asked when he thinks an American man is going to win a Grand Slam tournament.

Taylor Fritz has been enjoying his time at the Miami Open so far, with his efforts taking him to the last 16.

Fritz’s maturity was praised by Stevie Johnson prior to Indian Wells, where the American fell in the round of 16 to eventual champion Jack Draper.

The former has since moved on to the Miami Open, where he has beaten Matteo Gigante and 27th seed Denis Shapovalov.

Fritz, the Miami Open third seed, beat the former 7-6(7-2), 6-3 in round two and the latter 7-5, 6-3 in round three.

And those wins have set up a round of 16 meeting with Adam Walton, who is a lucky loser at the ATP Masters 1000 event after losing in qualifying.
