There are seven US players in the ATP top 50: leading is Taylor Fritz, world no.9, who together with Frances Tiafoe is one of two Americans currently in the top 10.The winner of Indian Wells in 2022 leads his country in the world rankings: with his countrymen, friends off the court, but all rivals with the aim of being number one for their Country.In an interview with Style Magazine, Fritz explained: “Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul and Reilly Opelka are my best friends.
But each of us wants to beat the others and be the first American to win a Grand Slam in two decades.”Together with the United States, and leaving aside the Russians still without a flag, Italy is also massively represented in the top 100.
Fritz also talks about the golden moment of Italian tennis: “The ranking says that the number is the same, but the ranking says also that now the strongest is Jannik Sinner: he knows how to do everything, he has no weaknesses and I think he will remain in the top 10 for a long time.
Lorenzo Musetti has a great one handed backhand and I think he has room for improvement”. The North American also spoke of Berrettini: “Great serve and great forehand, a good guy even off the court.”
Taylor Fritz has many doubts about Novak Djokovic’s diet
In the interview, Taylor Fritz was also asked about body care.On the subject of diet, the comparison always goes with Novak Djokovic, known on the circuit for having a stricter diet than his colleagues.
He told: “I do my best but I’m not as good as others. The very strict diet that Novak Djokovic follows, with me would not work.There’s no shortage of fast food dinners, a few transgressions are fine considering the calories I burn on the court.”Nole and Taylor will be among the most awaited stars on the North American hard-courts.
The Serb, after the Wimbledon defeat against Carlos Alcaraz, will skip the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada, in order to play in good form the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati and the US Open in New York.
