Fritz’s female fans have responded positively to it, but many have criticized the media house for promoting Taylor Fritz as the No.1 American player. If the ATP and WTA rankings are both taken into account, it is billionaire heiress, Jessica Pegula who is the highest-ranked player from the country, as she is No.3 in the world at the moment. Others have questioned the way the photography has been done since Taylor Fritz’s expressions seem off to them.
In an interview with the publication, Taylor Fritz opened up about his ambitions about actually becoming the No.1 player in the world, not just in the United States in any category. Fritz also spoke about his career-changing win over Rafael Nadal in front of his original home crowd in the final of the Indian Wells Masters 1000 last year.
When it comes to the US Open, Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff are considered to be the two biggest American hopefuls at the women’s singles and doubles events as well. Amongst the men, after Taylor Fritz, it is Frances Tiafoe who is said to have a chance, being ranked No.10 in the world. While Tommy Paul, being World No.13, made fans notice him as he beat Carlos Alcaraz in the Rogers Cup 2023 for the second year in a row. No American men’s player has won the singles tournament since Andy Roddick in 2003, which would make it exactly a 20-year wait this year.
