The ninth-seeded Taylor Fritz finally clinched his spot in the second round on Wednesday when he produced a stunning comeback to prevail over Yannick Hanfmann in a five-set thriller at the ongoing Wimbledon 2023.

Due to rain, the American and his German opponent had to wait until Wednesday to finish their match after coming off for bad light with Fritz leading 3-2 in the fifth set on Monday night. After three hours and one minute on Court 2, Fritz came out the fire, earning an early break to advance 6-4, 2-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.
