Wait — read the scoreline again. Taylor Fritz won the first two sets in tiebreaks and still lost. Nishesh Basavareddy saved the match in a third-set breaker that went to 11-9, then ran away with the fourth 6-1 as Fritz's level cratered.
The serve numbers tell the story of a player who couldn't convert dominance: Fritz hit 21 aces to Basavareddy's 4 but went just 1-for-4 on break points, while the American teenager cashed 3 of 6. A seeded exit at Roland-Garros before the second round is the kind of result that reshapes Fritz's clay narrative for the rest of the season.
