The victory was a major upset, as Zverev is the world's No. 2-ranked player and was considered one of the favorites to win the Wimbledon title. Fritz, on the other hand, is ranked No. 14 in the world.

Fritz's victory was particularly impressive given that he was playing with a back injury. He had to take a medical timeout during the third set, but he returned to the court and played through the pain.

Fritz's victory was a major upset, but it was also a well-deserved win. He played with heart and determination, and he never gave up, even when he was down two sets to love.

Fritz's victory is a major boost for American tennis. He is the first American man to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals since John Isner in 2018.

Fritz will now play Lorenzo Musetti in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Musetti is a rising star in the tennis world, and he will be a tough opponent for Fritz.

However, Fritz has proven that he is a fighter, and he will be determined to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time in his career.

In other Wimbledon news, Coco Gauff was upset by fellow American Emma Navarro in straight sets on Monday. Gauff was the 11th seed at Wimbledon, but she was no match for Navarro, who is ranked No. 120 in the world.

Navarro won the match 6-3, 6-3, and she will now play Heather Watson in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

Gauff's loss was a disappointing end to her Wimbledon campaign, but she can still be proud of her performance. She reached the third round of Wimbledon for the second time in her career, and she is still only 18 years old.

Gauff is a rising star in the tennis world, and she has a bright future ahead of her. She will be back at Wimbledon next year, and she will be determined to make a deep run in the tournament.
