After breaking into the top 15 of the ATP rankings, Taylor Fritz is looking for more success at this month’s US Open. After a gut-wrenching five-set loss to Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals at this year’s Wimbledon, the 24-year-old is hoping to become the first American man to win a grand slam singles title since Andy Roddick in 2003.
You played an epic against Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon. How does a tough loss like that change your mindset? I’m motivated to keep having results and keep putting myself in those types of situations where I can play those matches. That one hurt because I wanted it so bad. I felt like I put in all the work, I felt like I deserved it. I really felt like I was going to win the match the entire time until the very end.
