The choice for the winner of the third quarter. The weakest quarter without any doubt because there is no Djokovic, Alcaraz or Sinner. I choose Fritz, an outstanding player who had a great season and played on grass, winning 2 out of 3 tournaments, even though he didn't demonstrate his best game at Eastbourne. His main opponents are Zverev and Medvedev. I won't say anything new about Zverev, he is a player with a weak mentality and has generally shown the worst results in Grand Slams, never reaching the 4th round. And Fritz himself has beaten him before, including at last year's Wimbledon and this year's Stuttgart Final on grass.
Medvedev is not in his best form this year, even though he played fairly well on grass at Halle, but was easily handled by Bublik. Also, one solid tournament is not enough to convince me. Other candidates like Berrettini, who hasn't played in any tournament in the past month and a half, will definitely fall early, and Khachanov doesn't convince me either.
The surface is favorable for Fritz, a rising player, although there is always a risk with him at Grand Slams because he has had some failures in the past. However, he also has a potential to reach the final. Personally, I see him as the favorite in this quarter.
