Yes. White dial. He's a Rolex ambassador and wears that watch all the time.

He'll be a huge underdog against Jannik Sinner on Sunday but if he wins, he'll become the first American male to win a grand slam in singles since Andy Roddick in 2003.

I like Sinner, but hope Fritz wins. Love his huge serve and big forehand, feels like a throwback to Sampras. Great player and a slam final is well deserved; one more win.

I consider him the winner already because Sinner shouldn’t even be in the draw.

based on what fact? all athletes have blood levels checked through the years. Sinner levels were not altered, even if they found a trace of substance. by trace I mean 0.0000001 g/l of that substance! they found immediately how. it would have been the dumbest doping attempt if it were real.

I simply do not see how Fritz can beat Sinner, max 4 sets win for Sinner

Too many Rolex tennis ambassadors today IMO. You see them on the wrists of virtually everyone at the majors, and it’s turning into something of a joke.

Only chance Fritz has against Sinner is if the wrist injury is more severe than it appeared at the end of the Draper match.

Sinner usually has on a two-tone "Bluesy" if I'm not mistaken. I sure hope Fritz can take it home. He is indeed a big underdog and there is no doubt a talent gap, but maybe he will be buoyed by the crowd and something special will happen.

Maybe if Fritz wins, Rolex will gift him a full PM like Alcaraz. Or Maybe he needs a couple grand slams

A couple of my tennis mates don’t give Fritz a chance. Who knows, but I think he’s a good chance, not just because he’s good enough to be there, but he’ll be tougher to beat than Draper was. I think he has the wherewithal!

When they give Roger every Rolex known to men there is no much left for other Rolex ambassadors... like VIPs getting all the watches from AD and you are left with ladies datejusts and two tone models ...

Sinner usually wears a black sub...

Alkaraz wore meteorite Daytona on Oysterflex and Rolex change that before Olympics final and gave him a Gold President... how you can have a better watch to pair with a gold medal... but once again some Hublot ambassador ruined Rolex dreams... at least this time they didn't made a commercial that ranks in the top of most pathetic sports commercials ever...

Oh well Rolex is free for them, the questions is do they select or Rolex selects for them.

Would be cool if Fritz left the Daytona on while playing. I guess that would be more feasible with a one-handed backhand, not his two-hander. Rafa and Korda wear RM watches during matches, would be good to see a Rolex during a match.
