Biography

Overview
Fritz is making his sixth appearance for Team World and flourishes in team competition. On his 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 and San Francisco 2025, where he upset Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday for the first time in his career. Fritz has won six out of eight singles matches at Laver Cup. In 2026, he took several months off over the clay-court swing to recover from knee tendonitis, rediscovering his form on grass where he reached the final at Halle and the last eight at Wimbledon.

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 was featured in the Netflix Series Breakpoint, which aired at Australian Open 2023, and is a die-hard gamer in his spare time.

Career
Fritz possesses a booming serve that has been clocked at more than 230km/h. He has won 10 ATP singles titles, including four at Eastbourne on grass. He reached the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2025 and has reached the quarterfinals twice there, including in 2026. 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. In 2024, 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 10 since then, inspiring up-and-coming Americans and close friends on the Tour, such as teammates Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe, to follow in his success.
