There’s nothing “wrong” about Fritz. Few players can play tennis like the big 3, and most players hit their ceiling before they would like to. Fritz is just one of them. In fact, he is one of those players that make the most out of his potential. Just think about the fact that he is very likely to achieve more than Monfils, Kyrgios,or Shapovalov in his career, which would be unthinkable in the beginning of their career. He’s been the top American consistently, when players like Paul, Tiafoe, Korda, and Shelton chasing, yet it still seems like it is going to be like that for some more years. I am not the biggest fan of Fritz but I really respect him for his achievements.

To be absolutely honest with you, it's amazing what Taylor Fritz has achieved with his "leg condition". I mean there are not many players who can actually move that well with X shaped legs. So for me, if I was his parent, I would be extremely proud of him.

What in the world are you talking about? He has standard legs. No one wins a Masters 1000 and beats Nadal with a "leg condition". The condition of his legs is FAST. I appreciate the Tennis Plus analysis and it's mostly spot-on. You will notice that Tennis Plus does not talk about the shape of his legs. That literally has NOTHING to do with anything. Right off the bat in his career, he got his girlfriend pregnant, married her, and then got divorced relatively quickly. I think that start hurt him and I suspect it's still hurting him in some way.

Great content! I think Fritz has definitely got some room to grow as a tennis player! He hasn't reached his ceiling, in my opinion! Mentally, he can still improve. With such a good serve, netplay should be incorporated more, variety in general, he's using the forehand dropshot more often, which is good! If he can add some slices in to the mix, get his movement just up by like 7% I think he could win way more matches! But I have a lot of respect for Fritz! He's obviously not as naturally gifted as Federer, for example, but works very hard to be the best he can be!

I love how the video mentions Fritz won Indian Wells with an ankle issue, which was so bad he played Miami 4 days later without any problem but fails to mention that Rafa was playing that final with cracked ribs, could barely serve and was out for 3 months recovering….

He is where he should be, in the 10-15 range. He got to 5, but that was for a very very short period and he benefited from Zverev, Berrettini and Medvedev dropping back because of injuries. Great serve and groundstrokes, but his movement and ability at the net will always create a ceiling for him.

Amazing video! Keep going I love your chanel. You can make a video for Grigor Dimitrov!

Staging: Why do you stand in front of the cam with the light (from apparently a window) behind you?

I think that his pressure management is still a problem because it’s unstable if you compare it to other top players. For example if you compare his match against an injured Nadal in Indian wells 2022 and then his match against an injured Nadal in Wimbledon a few months later. But still in my opinion he is definitely fun to watch and very talented. I appreciate your work by the way!

Very few get to 'dominate. It's interesting to hear him talk about how he used feel about tennis - sound familiar? Wishing him the best and if gets some slams that's bonus material.

Would love to see a video on Alex De Minaur!

Does anyone know which website Tommy uses to show these players' statistics on the graph?

I feel like he’s done pretty amazing for being in a profession that he’s obviously been pushed into. But I think he has reached a certain limit with his game where maybe he lacks the passion that other players have to get that much more out of themselves. If you don’t have an inherent love of the game at that level I think it can sometimes show. I think he’s really pushed a body type that doesn’t seem natural for the sport so operating beyond your limit makes everything that much harder.

His phrase of the pressure of an American winning a GS frightens my hopes as a US fan. I get that they're other great US players that will have a shot too in the future such as Tiafoe, Paul, and Shelton, but why can he have the killer mindset of why cant I do it to achieve the impossible, which is something that US tennis fans have been wanting for a long time. Like he doesnt embrace the pressure to be the first US GS champion since he's the most consistent out of all the other top US players and won a Masters 1000.

Interesting !

Video on dimitrov!!!

I tend to agree with others who believe he's done very well to spend a fair time in the top 10 and win an M1000, he had a great patch of form and has since stabilised at a level which doesn't quite sustain those heights. There does seem to be something going on with his mentality with being so hard on himself, very visibly, during matches - I think it gives his opponents confidence and he doesn't quite have that air of belief that he had a few years ago. I think he'll have it back at some stage but he hasn't seem to have made any improvements on that mentality when it comes to being on the court and dealing with the ups and downs of a match. Recently he was scolding himself with his head in his hands - just because his opponent levelled the first set at 4-4. He's probably well aware that he needs to work on this but the lack of improvement is concerning.

I really like Taylor. What a great player! He should get Agassi as a mental coach

Two words: tennis parents. It never seems to help, frankly

Anyone saying Fritz is overrated is crazy. He has the best American backhand since maybe Agassi (Korda's is good but not as good in certain situations) and probably the best American first/second serve since Roddick. He's also pretty scrappy from the baseline, decent at the net, and obviously has a great forehand. The main things holding him back are his returns (quick lateral movement) and sprint ability as some people have commented. But he's already achieved so much and keeps improving. He is currently the only good all-round American player besides Tommy Paul, but he plays more aggressively than Paul so I think he has more upside

To excel on the hyper competitive ATP tour, I think one needs to get angry at times. Taylor seems to be one of those likable and content players.

while the fritz doesn't have what it takes to dominate the sport, he _is_ going to win a slam one day . he's a US American . he's a winner .

Taylor still has time but needs to improve his net play, backhand, movement and overall confidence to compete with sinner, Alcaraz, medvedev, and rune types - also not sure if Fritz would have won Indian wells with a healthy Nadal

Taylor and Sebby (Korda) are my favorite American players. I like Ben Shelton and Fraces too.

Taylor reminds me of Andy Roddick. An underachiever, plays inconsistent all the time, lack of a killer instinct I think Ben Shelton is gonna be top 10 this year and win a slam next year

Taylor Fritz can transfer to being a Top 5 player, only if he acquires a transition game. I've been saying this for at least three years. Fritz simply does not recognise a short ball and cannot deal with short balls adequately, or create a short ball to attack. Constantly leaving himself frustrated as a result. It is clearly not instinctive for him to play transition tennis and finish points at the net. But there is no top five player in the world in any era of history without a transition game. His movement is not the best but there have been other Top players without great movement or fast twitch fibres, like Lindsay Davenport. So his biggest issue is his lack of a transition game. He really needs to work on this as a top priority if he wants to realise his potential more.

You could do one about tiafoe!

I agree with others that he's probably hampered by his physique. His height obviously gives him a good advantage but once you get to the pros.. well almost everyone is tall. Think it's also an interesting discussion on American tennis players - between him, Paul, Tiafoe (and now maybe Shelton) - struggling to break through in GS and with consistency.

I think he needs to get a good coach, someone like Daren Cahill or Brad Gilbert who can motivate him. He needs change in his mentality.

It's About Time We Talk About Cameron for last 52 weeks he has reached semis just twice on 250 and 500 events that's really low for the level he was before

it's because he plays league of legends ranked matches after his tennis matches. i see him on league of legends at midnight to almost 3 a.m. lol

Feel like Morgan needs to be discussed if you’re going to talk about Taylor. I think he’ll improve in the next couple years as the big 3+1 step away

Fast forward and he lost his first match in Miami in two straight sets. But I like Taylor for his personality and as a player so I cheer for him to be more succesfull in the rest of the year!

I thought the statement he was "scared to lose" was extremely evident the last half of 2023. Every time I watched him I just thought he looked very passive and almost uninterested. He seems to have really turned this around, at least from what I have seen. 2024 so far he seems to be playing some more inspired tennis, and much more "into" his matches. He just needs to find that next gear if he can.

A video about Dimitrov please.

Winning a Grand Slam today is extremely tough!!! Not only you have to make it to week 2 but at this stage you'll face against Medvedev, Sinner, Alcaraz or Djokovic (let's see if Nadal can make it to) and that is extremely difficult. If you manage to bit one of those guys one of them is going to be waiting for you at semis or at the final!

Fritz has a great serve, you'd might say even a fast arm and good ball striking ability, good hands but he seems flat footed and kind of clunky in his movement and to win a Slam I don't think you can have one glaring weakness. Andy Roddick matched up badly against Federer but he was light on his feet and had better all round athleticism that Fritz also by the age of 26 had a bunch of Slam final appearances and his sole Slam the 2003 US Open which didn't really accurately describe his tennis career, he was a consistent contender.

I enjoy Fritz as a player and i like to watch his matches. I still think he has the potential to win one slam :)

Still think Taylor has a lot of potential. He just needs to get his mindset right to play big games.
