Taylor Fritz has been on a roll this past week, racking three hard-fought but impressive three-set wins to barge into the men’s singles finals of the 2024 Eastbourne International. His final foe is battle-tested Max Purcell of Australia, who has racked up six consecutive wins since the qualifying phase of the tournament. Fritz, who received first-round bye for being the No.1 seed, toppled Thiago Seyboth Wild of Brazil 7-6(4) 6-3 in round 1, Juncheng Shang of China 7-6(5) 7-6(5) in the quarterfinals and Aleksandar Vukic of Australia 7-6(5) 7-6(4) in the semis to reach 14 finals in the ATP tour. Purcell, meanwhile, has gone through a gauntlet of six matches days to reach his first career singles finals. In the main draw, he defeated Laslo Djere 6-1 4-6 6-3, Lorenzo Sonego 6-4 6-4, Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3 7-6(4), and Billy Harris 6-4 4-6 6-4 to reach the finals. A Grand Slam men’s doubles champion, the 26-year-old Australian is eyeing for a breakthrough title to ignite his men’s single career.
