Biography

Overview
Fritz is making his fifth appearance for Team World and flourishes in team competition. On debut at Laver Cup Geneva 2019, Fritz shocked Dominic Thiem on the third day of competition. He contributed to Team World’s breakthrough title at the O2 in London in 2022, and their follow-up victory in Vancouver 2023. Fritz has won 4 out of six singles matches at Laver Cup and his first doubles (w/Shelton) in Berlin 2024, during which time he climbed as high as No.4 in the PIF ATP Rankings.

Off Court
Fritz, who grew up idolizing Juan Martin del Potro and Pete Sampras, began playing tennis when he was two. His father, Guy, is a tennis coach and his mother, Kathy May, is a former top 10 player. Fritz featured in the Netflix Series Breakpoint, which aired at Australian Open 2023 and is a die-hard gamer in his spare time.

Career
The top-ranked American, Fritz possesses a booming serve that has been clocked at more than 230km/h. He has won 10 ATP singles titles, adding two this year at Stuttgart and Eastbourne, where he claimed the championship for the fourth time. Fritz enjoyed a spectacular run across the grass-court season, winning nine-straight matches before his best-ever semifinal showing at Wimbledon, and a close four-set loss to Carlos Alcaraz, his great rival in San Francisco. A former world No.1 junior, Fritz snared his biggest title at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 in 2022, beating Rafael Nadal in the final. Last year, he achieved a career milestone by reaching the final at the US Open, the first American man to go so far at Flushing Meadows since Andy Roddick in 2006. He achieved a career-high ranking of No.4 in November 2024, and has maintained his position in the Top 5 since then, inspiring upcoming Americans and close friends on the Tour such as teammates Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe, to follow his success.
