Taylor Fritz Claps Back at Wimbledon Opponent: 'Have a Nice Flight Home'

After beating Arthur Rinderknech in the second round of Wimbledon, Taylor Fritz told his opponent to 'have a nice flight home,' leading to a heated exchange. This adds to the tension from their previous matchup at the French Open, where Fritz shushed a hostile crowd.

In a second-round match at Wimbledon, 13th-seeded Taylor Fritz defeated Arthur Rinderknech, leading to a heated exchange at the net. Fritz, who won 6-3 6-4 3-6 6-4, told Rinderknech to 'have a nice flight home,' referencing their previous French Open clash, where tensions were high.

"I'm a very chill person," Fritz mentioned post-match, "but when someone takes a shot at me, I'm not just going to take it." Rinderknech had reminded Fritz of their earlier encounter, adding fuel to an already fiery matchup.

During the postmatch handshake, the two traded barbs, with Fritz conveying his displeasure at Rinderknech's pre-match comments. Fritz is set to face 24th-seeded Alejandro Tabilo of Chile on Saturday for a spot in the fourth round.
