In a hostile atmosphere, the American was able to control his nerves and the boiling Parisian public to dominate Rindeknech. It is Fritz who will face the Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo (23rd) for a place in the 8th final.
The outsider Rinderknech was very loudly supported from the entrance by the audience of the court Suzanne-Lenglen. Several Marseillaises were sung and the public throughout the match often sought to destabilize Fritz, despite the regular remonstrances of the referee.
