Taylor Fritz made his debut this Saturday at the Indian Wells 2025 Masters 1000 with a comfortable victory over Matteo Gigante (6-3, 7-5), a match that might not have happened at all. The American came to his favorite tournament of the season nursing an oblique injury that had been bothering him for several weeks. Ultimately, he chose to take to the court, and things went well, so we'll see how far Taylor can go, considering that he won the title here in 2022 while injured.
"In hindsight, it was a bad decision to play in Delray Beach and then go to Acapulco," said the World No. 4 after defeating Gigante. "I had not touched a racket for two weeks, so I couldn't expect much today. The best news is that I played without thinking about my oblique injury even once, which is a good sign because it was bothering me a lot in my recent matches. There are still some things I want to clean up and improve, but overall, it has been a fairly solid performance," he assessed.
