Early life and background

Fritz was born the youngest of three boys to Guy Fritz and Kathy May. His mother Kathy May Fritz was a top-10 player, and his father Guy Henry Fritz also played professional tennis and was named US Olympic Development Coach of the Year 2016.[4] He is the great-great-grandson of David May, founder of The May Department Stores Company, which merged with Macy's, and the great-grandson of Morton D. May.[5]

Fritz has two older maternal half-brothers, Chris and Kyle.[6][7]

Fritz grew up with his brothers in Rancho Santa Fe in the San Diego metropolitan area. He attended Torrey Pines High School, where he won the CIF singles title in the San Diego section as a freshman. A few months into his sophomore year, he switched to an online high school to play ITF junior events full-time.[8]

Junior career

Fritz did not play any ITF events until he was 15, when he competed in a low-level Grade-4 tournament in March 2013 in Claremont near where he grew up. He would not play another event until the 2013 Junior US Open, at which point he began to compete regularly on the ITF Circuit shortly before turning 16. Within the next year, he made it to the semifinals at the 2014 Junior Wimbledon tournament. He then won his first Grade A tournament at the 2014 Osaka Mayor's Cup.[9]

In 2015, Fritz reached at least the quarterfinal of all four junior Grand Slam tournaments, including the final at the French Open where he lost to Tommy Paul, and the final at the US Open where he defeated Paul.[10] This major success helped him finish the year as the number-one-ranked boy's junior tennis player, for which he was named the 2015 ITF Junior World Champion. He was the first American to hold this title since Donald Young in 2005 and Andy Roddick in 2000.[11]

Professional career

2015: Challenger Tour success

Fritz played his first ATP Tour tournament at Nottingham, where he received a wild card and won his first ATP match against Pablo Carreño Busta.[12]

In September 2015, Fritz turned pro after winning the Junior US Open. He quickly rose from the 600s into the Top 250 of the ATP Rankings by becoming the 9th player at age 17 to win multiple Challenger Tour titles – doing so in back-to-back weeks. The others to accomplish that feat include Top 20 players Bernard Tomic, Tomáš Berdych, Richard Gasquet, and Juan Martín del Potro as well as Number 1 overall players Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.[13]

2016: Surge into top 100, first ATP Tour final

After he lost in the final of his last tournament of 2015, Fritz reached a final again in his first tournament of 2016, this time winning against top-100 player Dudi Sela at Happy Valley to catapult to a ranking in the 150s. In the following week, he made it through Australian Open Qualifying to reach his first main draw of a Grand Slam tournament at the Australian Open, where he would lose in the 1st round to fellow American Jack Sock in five sets.

Fritz was awarded a wildcard into his first ATP 250 tournament of 2016 at Memphis and knocked off the second-seeded Steve Johnson, who at No. 29 was the highest ranked player Fritz had ever defeated. With his victory over Ričardas Berankis in the semifinal, he became the youngest American to reach an ATP final since Michael Chang in 1988, and also the second-fastest American ever to reach an ATP final, doing so in just his third career ATP tournament. John Isner is the only American that was able to reach an ATP final faster.[3][14] Fritz would lose in the final to three-time defending champion and top-10 player Kei Nishikori. In February, Fritz cracked the top 100 for the first time by reaching the quarterfinals in Acapulco at his first career ATP 500 event.

Fritz's grass court season was highlighted by a close three set loss to Roger Federer at Stuttgart. He would end up peaking in the rankings at No. 53 towards the end of the summer. At the US Open, Fritz drew Jack Sock in the first round of a major for the second time this year, again losing in five sets.

To cap off the year, Fritz won the ATP Star of Tomorrow for being the youngest player in the top 100, having just turned 19 years old.

2017: First Grand Slam match win

Fritz was able to achieve his first victory over a top ten ATP player at Indian Wells defeating sixth seed Marin Čilić in the second round. Fritz struggled through the first half of the year with injury problems, and ended up skipping the clay court season to focus on recovering.[15] He returned to form in the summer with quarterfinals at Los Cabos and Winston-Salem. In his seventh grand slam appearance, Fritz won his first match at a major tournament by knocking out Marcos Baghdatis at the US Open.

2018: Continued tour success, Maiden Masters 1000 fourth round, top 50 debut

After finishing 2017 just outside the top 100, Fritz had a good start to the 2018 season, reaching two Challenger finals in January. He returned to the Top 100 of the ATP rankings by reaching the final in New Caledonia, though he lost there to Noah Rubin. Following a loss in qualifying at the Australian Open, he then won his first Challenger title in two years at the inaugural event in Newport Beach, not too far from his current residence in Palos Verdes.

He continued his strong start by making it to the fourth round at Indian Wells, his first round of 16-appearance at a Masters event.

Fritz kicked off the clay-court season with a semifinals appearance at the US Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston, the best result on clay of his career thus far. In the tournament, he upset Ryan Harrison and Jack Sock before losing to Steve Johnson. This helped him get back to No. 66 in the world.

At the US Open, Fritz reached his first Grand Slam third round, defeating Mischa Zverev and Jason Kubler, before losing to 9th-seeded Dominic Thiem in four sets.[16]

Earlier in the season, Fritz began working with Paul Annacone, who helped him reach a career-high ranking of World No. 47 on November 5, 2018.[17][18]

2019: Top 25 breakthrough, first ATP title
Fritz at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships

Fritz made the third round at the Australian Open, losing to Roger Federer in 3 sets. Fritz then went on to win the Challenger at Newport Beach, California; he defeated Brayden Schnur of Canada in the final, in straight sets.

In June, Fritz won his first ATP Tour title at the Eastbourne International by defeating Sam Querrey in straight sets. In the first round of Wimbledon, Fritz defeated Tomáš Berdych in straight sets, before losing to Jan-Lennard Struff in four sets.[19]

At the US Open, Fritz was seeded 26th, his first-ever Grand Slam seeding. However, he lost to Feliciano López in the first round.[20]

Fritz represented Team World in the third annual Laver Cup, held in Geneva. In his first singles match, he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas, 2–6, 6–1, 7–10.[21] Fritz bounced back on the final day of play, defeating Dominic Thiem, 7–5, 6–7(3), 10–5.[22]

At the Swiss Indoors, Fritz defeated 2nd-seeded Alexander Zverev in the first round, 7–6, 6–4.[23]

After achieving a career-high ranking of World No. 25 on August 5, 2019, Fritz ended the year ranked No. 32 in the world.[24]

2020: First ATP 500 final and Career-high ranking, Three Grand Slam third rounds

Fritz began his season at the inaugural ATP Cup, representing Team USA. He went 1–2 in singles competition, as Team USA was sent out of the tournament in the round-robin stage.

At the Australian Open, Fritz reached the third round, posting a five-set victory over Kevin Anderson. He was then defeated by eventual finalist Dominic Thiem.[25]

Fritz reached his first ATP 500 final in Acapulco, where he lost to Rafael Nadal. However, his runner-up showing propelled him to a new career-high ranking of World No. 24 on March 2, 2020.[26]

At the US Open, Fritz was seeded 19th. He defeated Dominik Koepfer in four sets and then beat Gilles Simon in the second round before losing to Denis Shapovalov in the third round in five sets.

At the French Open, Fritz was seeded 27th. He defeated Tomáš Macháč in five sets and Radu Albot in straight sets before losing to Lorenzo Sonego in the third round in straight sets. The match against Sonego had the longest tie-break in French Open history, with Fritz eventually losing the tie-break 17–19.

2021: First Masters semifinal, second Masters quarterfinal and American No. 1

Fritz started the season at the first edition of the Murray River Open. Seeded sixth, he made it to the third round where he lost to Jérémy Chardy.[27] Seeded 27th at the Australian Open, he reached the third round where he was defeated by world no. 1, Novak Djokovic in five sets, despite coming back from two sets to love down.[28]

In Doha, Fritz reached the semifinals beating Lorenzo Sonego,[29] sixth seed David Goffin,[30] and fourth seed Denis Shapovalov.[31] He ended up getting eliminated in the semifinals by Nikoloz Basilashvili.[32] Seeded 15th at the Dubai Championships, he got revenge on Basilashvili, beating him in the second round in threes sets.[33] He was beaten in the third round by second seed Andrey Rublev.[34] Seeded 22nd at the Miami Open, he reached the fourth round where he lost to 32nd seed Alexander Bublik.[35] Despite this loss, this was his best showing at this Masters 1000 event and only his second fourth round in a Masters 1000 tournament in his career.

Fritz dropped again out of the top 30 on May 10, 2021, following first-round losses at Monte-Carlo and Madrid. With this drop in the rankings, it also marked the first time there were no American men players in the Top 30 in the nearly half-century of computerized tennis rankings.[36]

At the 2021 French Open, Fritz was seeded 30th. He defeated João Sousa in the first round in straight sets. In the second round, Fritz suffered a torn meniscus during his 4-set loss to Dominik Koepfer. Following this, Fritz stated that he was hopeful to be back in time for the 2021 Wimbledon Championships following surgery.[37] Fritz would end up returning in time to play Wimbledon and proceeded to make the third round, where he lost to Alexander Zverev.[38]

At the 2021 BNP Paribas Open he earned first top 10 win in 2 years by beating world no. 7 and 5th seed Matteo Berrettini to reach the second fourth round at a Masters 1000 of the year and only the third in his career.[39] It was his first win against a Top-10 opponent in 2021 and the seventh of his career. Fritz then beat 10th seed Jannik Sinner to advance to his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal.[40] There, he saved 2 match points to earn his biggest win of the year, beating world no. 4 and 3rd seed Alexander Zverev to reach his first Masters 1000 semifinal, where he lost to Nikoloz Basilashvili.[41][42]

At the 2021 St. Petersburg Open, Fritz turned 24, and won against countryman Tommy Paul.[43] He would end up making the final, where he lost to Marin Čilić.[44]

Fritz made his second Masters 1000 quarterfinal at the 2021 Rolex Paris Masters, where he beat Lorenzo Sonego, 5th seed and world no. 6 Andrey Rublev for his third Top-10 win of the year,[45] and 10th seed and Indian Wells champion Cameron Norrie.[46] He lost to Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals.[47] With this successful run he reached a new career-high ranking in the top 25 at World No. 23 and became the No. 1 American player in singles on November 8, 2021.[48]

Playing style

Fritz possesses a dominant serve that can reach 149 mph, and solid groundstrokes off both wings.[49] One of Fritz's defining strengths is his ability to hit sharp angle cross-court shots on both the backhand and forehand sides. He also has a good topspin lob.[50]

Personal life

In an interview before Fritz played his first match against Roger Federer, he recalled watching the live stream of the 2009 US Open final between Federer and Juan Martín del Potro when he was in fifth grade.[51]

Fritz has a son (born 2017) with ex-wife Raquel Pedraza.[52]
