Stefanos Tsitsipas

Alexander Zverev

Taylor Fritz

Dominic Thiem

Answer: Taylor Fritz

Taylor Fritz stopped Rafael Nadal’s 20-match winning streak to win his first ATP Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells. 

The 20-year-old, ranked 20th, emerged victorious with a score of 6-3-7-6 over the world’s fourth-ranked player. With this, Taylor Fritz became the first American to win the Indian Wells tournament after Andre Agassi in 2001. 

Following the match, Fritz said, “This is just one of those childhood dreams you just think would never come true. I can’t even describe how ridiculous it is how I could play today,” referring to an injury he had suffered prior to the match. 

“I have never experienced worse pain in my life before a match.If I knew it was going to be that bad, I wouldn’t have come out here. I took a couple of change-of-direction steps and screamed and honestly I was trying to act tough because I had cameras on me.”

“We did a lot of work leading up to the match and I went through a rollercoaster of emotions before the match thinking there’s no way I can play today.”

Fritz’s injury was to his ankle. Rafael Nadal on the other hand was dealing with chess trouble. “When I am breathing, when I’m moving, it’s like a needle all the time inside. I get dizzy a little bit because it’s painful,” Nadal had said.
