With this win, the American finally broke the Spaniard’s unbeaten streak in 2022. As of now, Rafa has 20 wins and 1 loss this year, which is still pretty remarkable. Meanwhile, Fritz won his first-ever Masters 1000 tournament. Incidentally, this was his second trophy in his career. After winning his first trophy in Eastbourne in 2019, he won his second at the Indian Wells.
Taylor has been knocking on the trophy door for a while now and at the Indian Wells he finally broke through. Earlier at the Australian Open, he reached the 4th round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. In so many ways, 2022 has been a breakthrough year for the American tennis star.
