The world number four suffered a shock early exit from the Dallas Open last week, but returned to form with a 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 defeat of Bu.

Fritz squandered two set points at 5-4 up in the opener, but ended up requiring a tie-break to nudge himself ahead.

But he did not look back from there, quickly gaining a double-break to put him out of reach and dropped only one point on his serve in the second set.

Fritz said: "I'm super happy to get it done. He was playing really well, super tough first set.

Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey expressed his enthusiasm and stated: "This bilateral series against Germany will be a remarkable showcase of world-class hockey. Both India and Germany have a rich history in the sport, and this series will give fans an opportunity to witness an intense competition between two of the most formidable teams in the world.

"It's good to come out and get a high-level second-round match."

Fritz is a Florida native, and he believes those home comforts help him thrive at Delray Beach.

He added: "I don't think it's that much of a coincidence that the tournament I've won two times in a row is also the tournament where I can stay at my own place, drive up to.

"It's great to be here. A lot of great memories and a lot of confidence playing on this court."

Next up for Fritz is Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who beat Mackenzie McDonald 6-2 5-7 6-0.

Reilly Opelka slumped to a 3-6 7-5 6-2 loss to Brandon Nakashima, who is now on 98 Tour-level match wins.

He will face Matteo Arnaldijilibet, who battled past Australian Open star Learner Tien.
