"He's gotten me seven times," Fritz said of the Serb, who beat Borno Gojo in straight sets to reach the quarters. Fritz, one of three U.S. men in the last eight, was thrashed 6-0 6-4 by Djokovic in the Cincinnati quarter-finals last month but he said he would take positives from that defeat. "It's good that I got the one in Cincinnati out of the way," said Fritz. I'm not going to do anything different because I'm playing Novak. I'm going to play my game, play within myself and trust that if I play well, it's enough."

"Obviously Taylor has been now an established top-10 player for the last couple of years," said Djokovic, who has won all seven career meetings with Fritz.
