Taylor Fritz to Arthur Rinderknech: "You Know What You Did"
The only thing more beautiful than the weather at Wimbledon this week has been the copious amounts of trash talk. For that reason, one of the more anticipated second round matches was Taylor Fritz and Arthur Rinderknech.
Yesterday, Rinderknech called out Fritz for his behavior during and after their 2023 match at the French Open. Fritz waited until after today's match to respond.
Frtiz easily defeated Rinderknech in four sets: 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, and 6-4. After the match, Fritz and Rinderknech shook hands at the net and seemingly buried the hatchet.
That's until cameras caught what Fritz said to Rinderknech. "You know what you did." Rinderknech replied, "I know what I did?" Fritz said, "Yeah, you know what you did. Chill out."
It appears there is still no love loss between the two rivals. Fritz took note of Rinderknech's comments and responded with a win and some subtle trash talk.
Fritz will face Alejandro Tabilo in the third round of Wimbledon on Saturday, July 6. Tennis fans can follow Sports Illustrated's Serve on SI for all the most important news from the sport.
