📜 Taylor Fritz History
Fritz's mother, Kathy May Fritz, is a former top-10 women's singles player, and her influence led to her son first picking up a racquet aged just 2. He grew-up as a big fan of both Pete Sampras and Juan Martin del Potro. Fritz was soon an increasingly serious player, as well as a fan of the sport: in order to focus on his tennis as much as possible, Fritz began taking school classes online in order to partake in ITF Juniors events.
In 2015, Taylor Fritz made his ATP-level debut, in Nottingham, UK, and by the end of the year he was ranked inside the top-180 of the ATP singles rankings. His first ATP final and Grand Slam main draw appearance then both came in 2016, and he ended the season inside the top-100, aged just 19. By 2019, Fritz was competing regularly with the very best, and won his first ATP singles title in Eastbourne, UK. By 2020, the American had established himself as a top-50 player, reaching the third round at the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, and the US Open. The biggest title of Fritz's career came in 2022, when he won the BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells), having reached the fourth round of the Australian Open a couple of months before. His win at Indian Wells made him the first American man to triumph in the tournament's singles draw since 2001.
Fritz's game makes excellent use of a powerful, fast serve, and strong, accurate groundstrokes on both his forehand and backhand sides.
