In a commanding display of grass-court prowess, World No. 5 Taylor Fritz etched his name into the history books once again by successfully defending his Eastbourne title—securing his fourth career win at the tournament and reaching a significant ATP milestone in the process. Fritz’s victory not only reaffirmed his dominance on grass but also sparked a wave of celebration from his American compatriots, including Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Sam Querrey.
Eastbourne Excellence: Fritz’s fortress on grass
With triumphs at Eastbourne in 2019, 2022, 2024, and now 2025, Taylor Fritz has turned the British coastal venue into his personal stronghold. His latest win brings his ATP Tour title count to 10, a remarkable feat made even more notable by the fact that half of those titles have come on grass—a surface traditionally less favored by American players.
Fritz took to Instagram following his victory, sharing his excitement with a caption that read:
“The Eastbourne merchant strikes again. Make that 10 ATP Tour titles… half on grass.”
The post quickly garnered praise and warm reactions from across the tennis world—especially from his fellow Americans.
Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Sam Querrey lead praise
Rising WTA star and World No. 2 Coco Gauff was among the first to applaud Taylor Fritz’s latest milestone, dropping a simple yet heartfelt “Congrats” under his celebratory post. Former U.S. men’s tennis star Sam Querrey, known for his own Wimbledon success, added a spirited:
“He’s back!!”
Meanwhile, fellow top-ranked American Jessica Pegula joined in the celebration by sharing Fritz’s achievement in her Instagram story, accompanied by the caption:
“[Crown] of Eastbourne.”
The warm and enthusiastic responses from Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Querrey underscore the tight-knit camaraderie among U.S. tennis players and the pride they take in each other’s achievements on the global stage.
Eyes now on Wimbledon Open
With the Eastbourne trophy once again in his grasp, Taylor Fritz shifts his attention to Wimbledon 2025, where he’s set to face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round at the prestigious All England Club. After a stellar grass season so far, expectations are high for the 27-year-old American to make a deep run at the year’s third Grand Slam.
As the tennis world gears up for two weeks of action at SW19, Fritz’s confidence-boosting victory at Eastbourne positions him as a serious contender on the grass courts of London.
