Evans led 3-6, 7-6 (6), 4-1 when Fritz halted the match. Fritz
later wrote in a social-media post, "Today I constantly felt
like I was going to pass out, my vision was going fuzzy." He
added that he wasn't prepared for such conditions because his
recent training was curtailed due to a foot injury, but that the
foot held up fine on Thursday.
Evans' quarterfinal foe will be Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka, who
upset seventh-seeded Karen Khachanov of Russia 7-6 (2), 7-6 (1).
In the only other third-round match that was completed, Sweden's
Mikael Ymer defeated Finland's Emil Ruusuvuori 6-3, 6-7 (3),
6-4.
Australia's Nick Kyrgios led fourth-seeded Reilly Opelka of the
United States 7-6 (1), 2-1 when their match was halted due to
lightning in the area, and fifth-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of
Bulgaria took the first set 6-4 against the United States'
Sebastian Korda prior to the stoppage.
