U.S. Open runner-up Taylor Fritz lost in the first round of the French Open as the tournament’s No. 4 seed on Monday, eliminated 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 by 66th-ranked Daniel Altmaier of Germany.
Altmaier broke Fritz’s big serve five times at Court Simonne-Mathieu and ended the Californian’s 15-match Grand Slam winning streak against players ranked outside the top 50.
Fritz’s exit followed another by a top-10 American: No. 9 Emma Navarro was bounced from the women’s bracket earlier Monday.
