"I’ve kind of been in these moments before, like, Indian Wells semi-final, Indian Wells final. I’d say probably it feels about the same as like a Slam quarter-final. Obviously [Wimbledon is] three-out-of-five sets."- Fritz on Wimbledon quarterfinal
"I think it makes the occasion bigger if I am playing Nadal. But I try to just approach it like how I did last time, treat it like any other match because I’ve been playing well. It’s about kind of just replicating the way I’ve been playing and trusting that that will be enough."
"It’s so interesting because three weeks ago, it was a low point for me. I kept telling myself that I’ll find my tennis. I had to just kind of keep being positive. I was injured, coming back from injury, not playing great."- Fritz on Wimbledon preparation
"I kind of just remained positive, stuck to, like, the process of working really hard, doing the right things. The week of Eastbourne things kind of started clicking for me."
"Now it is crazy to go from where I was at maybe mentally after Queen’s, like feeling injured, I’ve just lost like three matches in a row, to now I’m in my first Slam quarter-final."
"I know I’m going to have to bring a certain level. Just knowing that I will have to play a certain level, I know that I will play better. It’s going to be a lot different match obviously."- Fritz on facing Nadal
"Indian Wells was kind of crazy with both of us being extremely beaten up before the final. This time I think getting healthier versions of both of us, we’ll see."
