He reached the US Open final in 2024 and ATP Finals final in 2024, achieving a career-high No. 4 ranking.

How they play

Playing style

Taylor Fritz is a serve-dominant baseliner who relies on his powerful first serve and flat groundstrokes to control points from the baseline. His aggressive style features deep, penetrating shots with low trajectory, making him dangerous on fast surfaces like hard and grass where he has multiple titles. What makes him threatening is his ability to hold serve at over 89% rate, forcing opponents into tiebreaks, combined with consistent forehand pressure, though his return game limits break opportunities.

Serve
Fritz possesses one of the tour's best serves, regularly exceeding 130 mph with excellent placement out wide and down the T. His first serve win percentage is elite, backed by pronation for flat and slice variety, while his second serve, often around 110-120 mph, remains kick-heavy but vulnerable to aggressive returns.
Groundstrokes
Fritz wields a heavy forehand with an extreme western grip and low takeaway for massive power and depth, using it to dictate rallies. His backhand is flat, long, and penetrating, one of his signature weapons for down-the-line winners, though less spinny than modern peers.
Movement
Fritz covers the court adequately with long strides suited to baseline play but lacks elite lateral quickness and explosive changes of direction. He prefers faster surfaces where less defense is needed and struggles on clay against superior movers.
Weakness
Fritz's return of serve is below average, ranking low among top players on first serves due to positioning and movement limitations, resulting in a break rate under 20%. Opponents exploit this by holding serve easily, forcing tiebreaks where his second serve can be attacked.
