    Following those chants and some of just “Taylor” (one assumes aimed at Fritz, not Swift), the American enjoys his most comfortable service game, holding to love and keeping it level in this second set.

    He knows he can’t let the world number one get too much of an advantage in this match otherwise it could soon slip away quickly.

    With Fritz down a set, it feels a little like the crowd need something to give them a boost - a sniff of a break, a blockbuster rally, or maybe just one big rousing chant of U-S-A.
