Never underestimate the power of the crowd for their local boy. Taylor is such a great competitor, but the Aussie weathered some storms to pull this off. Good job mate.

The Aussie crowd was the difference. It had a finals atmosphere. Fritz had a ton more pressure than Popyrin not to take anything away from Popyrin who played great.

[Izzybizy]

Popy served for the gods! His serving was on top

[wopovoho]

Fritz didn't even play badly, Popyrin was just absolutely electric in this match. These were quality sets of tennis with two players at the top of their game.

What a way to seal the deal in the 5th set! Kudos p!

I’m shocked. I really thought Taylor turned a new page. He was so impressive at the United Cup. I thought it would carry over. Not to take anything away from Popyrin because he is a solid player and he played great but these are the matches Taylor has to win. If he cross to that next level, he can’t lose these matches. Anyway this is a great opportunity for Ben Shelton who I believed Popyrin plays next.

feeling sorry for Fritz. he also played very well; undoubtedly a great competitor. but unfortunately, he had to survive against the Australian (crowded) supporters also. finally, 113 ranked popyrin was able to take the advantage of his home-country supporters and won the match against ranked-9 Taylor Fritz. definitely, it can be called as an 'upset'

[dannycooper]

I'm so disappointed...Can't imagine how Taylor feels right now.

[Joseph-couh]

I wish AO TV can stop showing the winner of the match in the thumbnail.

[TennisOnAction]

Always happy for someone beaten against higher rank player. Congratulations

The crowd should be fined for biasing this match. Fritz was obviously the better player. Popyrin could've played a divine being and still win because of the crowds.

[TheJdaws]

It is completely unacceptable that Taylor Fritz lost this match. His surface is hard courts! How could he have lost so early in the Aussie Open after all the victories and high quality tennis he played in the last year? There is no other way to spin this other than a massive disappointment.

Is it really necessary to grunt whilst hitting a slice backhand??
