Fritz got the better of Zverev in a thrilling three-setter semifinal in Turin. While Fritz was basking in the moment during his on-court, post-match interview, Riddle took an opportunity to share a snippet of the same to congratulate him. In her Instagram stories, she posted Fritz’s words without any caption or reaction, certainly a unique way to highlight something and keep fans thinking.

In the snippet posted by Riddle on her account, Fritz can be heard saying, “At the end, the balls were…just huge!” Well, did Fritz take a leaf out of Daniil Medvedev’s book? Only he could clarify what he was talking about, but it did seem like he was talking about the quality of balls. Something that Daniil Medvedev pointed out as well, in the initial stages of the tournament.
