Dark horse! The young French player Terence Atmane has defeated the 4th seed Fritz, advancing to the quarterfinals in Cincinnati.

Dark horse! The 23-year-old French player (born on February 9, 2002), Terence Atmane, overcame the 4th seed and American top player Fritz, moving into the quarterfinals in Cincinnati! After a tough three-set match, the scores were 3-6/7-5/6-3, with Fritz facing a brutal comeback!

Atmane is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. He was ranked 136 before the match. After reaching the quarterfinals, his ATP live ranking rose to 93, an improvement of 43 places! This marks his first entry into the ATP Top 100 in his career.

This should be Atmane's biggest victory in his career so far. He was extremely excited after winning the final point.

This young French player started from the qualifiers, defeating Yashika in Q1, Li Tu in Q2, and eliminating two Australian players.

Path to the main draw:

First round: defeated Yoshihito Nishioka with a score of 6-2/6-2.

In the second round, he won against Cobolli (15) with scores of 6-4/3-6/7-6 (5).

In the third round, he beat Brazilian rising star Fonseca with scores of 6-3/6-4.

In the fourth round, he triumphed over Fritz (4) with scores of 3-6/8-5/6-3.

From his journey to the quarterfinals, Atmane shows no fear against strong players from the 1995 generation, nor against the new generation of talents. Of course, he can also compete with players of his age group, having won against Cobolli in the second round.

In the quarterfinals, Atmane will face the 7th seed Rune, who is also in the same age group. This will be their first encounter on the tour.

This French player is also a strong server, achieving an impressive first serve win rate of 82%, surpassing Fritz's 77%. His first serve percentage is 59%, indicating room for improvement. He has strong baseline rallying skills and performs well at the net. Additionally, he is very active on the court and plays with great passion. Compared to players like Fritz and Zverev, Atmane embodies the common traits of the post-2000 generation: full of emotion and proactive in attack.

Looking forward to his future journey becoming even better. French men's tennis is currently facing a lack of successors.
