The 11th seeded Fritz scooped up the ball and played on the open court, and Gray paid for the premature celebration.
Then Fritz ruled, and 24-year-old Fritz moved to play Alex Morcan of Slovakia. The victory put him in the fourth round for the first time in Wimbledon. When asked about

"It was the first thing I saw when I got out of court," he told reporters. "It was insane. That was a big point. He hit a good volley cross court.
" I don't know. I bounced a little and the crowd cheered as if the point was over. I heard that it is raised, but if you lay it out fully, it will be quite long, so I thought it would be nice to jump into this. You can put a racket on it.
"I really feel It was good. Especially at that moment, it should be the 1st place because it is a big setting point. "
Fritz went to the last 16 of the Grand Slam No, but there is a great opportunity for unseeded morcans.

"We are all doing well in the top 40 and top 30. We can go deep into the tournament any week, but it takes a little time to beat the best players in the world. It costs more, "Fritz added.
"We have a lot of depth and everyone is on the young side. There is still room for improvement. If we can continue to improve at this speed, we will reach it.
"The same is true for everyone else."
In addition to Fritz and Isner, Tommy Paul, Steve Johnson, and Francis Tiafor also participated in the third round. The number is likely to increase later on Thursday. (Report by Martyn Herman; edited by Ken Ferris)
