BASEL — Canada’s Denis Shapovalov is out of the Swiss Indoors tennis tournament after a 6-4, 6-3 loss to sixth seed Taylor Fritz in second-round action Thursday.

Fritz was not broken in the match.

The American picked up a crucial break in the final game of the first set, then broke to go up 3-1 in the second set and serve out for the win.

The series between the frequent opponents is now tied 6-6, though Fritz has won four of the last five matches.

Fritz will face second seed Arthur Fils of France in the quarterfinals of the ATP 500 event.

The 27-year-old Shapovalov, from Richmond Hill, Ont. entered the event ranked No. 52 in the world and is 22-21 on the season.
