Taylor Fritz started his adventure at the ATP Finals in Turin in an impressive way. Namely, the American tennis player won his match against Lorenzo Musetti in two sets, showing dominance from the first to the last point. Tennis fans are wondering what the future holds for this tennis player and whether he can really make such important steps to the final.
The biggest challenge will be the match against Carlos Alcaraz, considering that he has not been very successful in their duels so far, losing all three previous meetings. However, this may give additional motivation to the young player aiming to go as far as possible in the tournament.
The most important thing for Fritz fans is that he feels great and that the conditions in Turin suit him. This is best expressed by the words of Ryan Harrison, a member of the commentary team. Gigi Salmon and Tim Henman, in an interview for Sky Sports, conveyed what Harrison told them.
“He is loving these conditions.
We have been chatting with Ryan Harrison, who has been speaking to Taylor Fritz, and Taylor said to him that ‘I love the way the ball is flying through the air, I feel really comfortable on this speed of an indoor hard court.’”- Salmon said, as quoted by Tennis Gazette.
Henman reacts
Henman had only words of praise for the 28-year-old American's performance. Henman expects Taylor to be just as comfortable in the rest of the tournament, and to retain many aspects of his game in which he was dominant in the match against Musetti.
A game like this really raises optimism and hope that Taylor can beat anyone.
“I think pretty much any hard court Fritz is going to be comfortable because that really helps his movement.
He has a sure footing and he can take the ball early. He can trust a perfect bounce, so from Fritz and his whole team’s point of view, 10/10 for this performance.”-Henman said.
After losing in last year's final to Jannik Sinner, the American now wants to dominate and lift the trophy.
