Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal Wimbledon 2022: How and where to watch online for free, 6 July

Grand Slam Wimbledon has reached peak excitement levels and this has been a stellar tournament as expected. Traditionally, playing on grass hasn’t been an easy experience and this has been the case once again which has led to a bunch of upsets. In this QuarterFinals game, Taylor Fritz will take on Rafael Nadal on 6 July. Taylor Fritz has been in amazing touch and defeated Jason Kubler 6-3, 6-1, 6-4. Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal defeated Botic van de Zaandschulp 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 in another stunning win. Fritz is yet to drop a set in the last four games. However, he is coming up against a tough competitor here. Can Taylor get through this improbable scenario?

BBC has continued to broadcast Wimbledon games in the United Kingdom. For the Grand Slam lovers who live in the USA, you can watch this tournament on ESPN. EuroSport is once again going to telecast Wimbledon games in the European nations. To those living in the Indian subcontinent, Star Sports has continued to broadcast the game. To see the game online, Hotstar is going to showcase the game for Indian subcontinent viewers while Fubo, Sling TV, and Hulu TV have been doing so for global viewers.

Nadal set a great tone against Botic van de Zandschulp and took the first set 6-4, but even better in the second set, taking it 6-2. In the third set, Botic did a great job of forcing a tiebreaker but the peerless Spaniard took the tiebreaker 8-6. Rafa has been doing a great job of not conceding a break and he has also done a great job of breaking the serve. Nadal had a 64% first serve and managed to win% on first serve 73 and 70 on the second serve. Rafa earned 5/11 Breakpoints and had a huge 42-26 receiving points.

Nadal has lost just two sets in four games and Rafa has set an incredible tone each time. Despite these performances, the Spaniard expressed that he wants to do more in terms of serve game which means that there is work to be done. Rafa won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010 and made it to the Semis in his last two appearances. Nadal can be in play for another Semi-Final appearance once again.

Taylor comes into the game after banging another comfortable win against Jason Kubler. He didn’t allow Jason to have any sort of momentum and he has done it in every single game now. Fritz nailed 16 Aces in the last match and had a 63% first serve compared to 68% by Kubler but had an 85% win on the first serve compared to 64%. Taylor had 6/13 breakpoints and extracted a 43-21 receiving points advantage. He has been hammering home things as of now.

24-year-old Taylor is having a fantastic season and is heading towards the top-ten bracket at an electric rate. He hasn’t dropped a set yet and that makes one gasp considering he has nabbed 12 sets in a row at this point. This QuarterFinals appearance is the best performance of Fritz’s career in a Grand Slam after he made the fourth round during the 2022 Australian Open.

Context

Fritz has looked in great touch thus far and Rafael Nadal has been impeccable too. There are some holes in Nadal’s game and frankly, Taylor has been well-adept at finding the holes of opponents. Taylor has been getting it done lately but Rafael has been doing a great job of countering his opponents. Will Taylor withstand Nadal in this game or will Rafael showcase his prowess again?

Win/Loss Betting

Bookmakers at 1xBet believe that Rafael Nadal has the odds of 1.39, which is not a surprise. Fritz has the odds of 3.24 to win it here. I do agree with the assessment.

Total Games

Can this be a long game or will these two end it quickly? Nadal’s games have lasted four sets twice. Taylor has been finishing off games at a quick rate, which means that the total has lasted below the mark. I believe the total will be “Over” 38.5 which has the odds of 1.88.
