As Taylor Fritz gears up for the U.S. Open, he opened up to Fox News Digital about the Olympics, the pressure he puts on himself and what could make the sport 'more exciting.'
Fresh off medaling in Paris, Taylor Fritz has bigger goals in mind. Fritz represented the United States in the Olympics earlier this month, and while it did not go exactly how he hoped, it was still an unforgettable experience to represent the Stars and Stripes. 'It was awesome. I always love playing for the U.S. I always feel like I play well when I’m playing for the U.S.
’m very big in aligning with brands that I personally use and feel they can help me. When it comes to sleep, I think sleep is one of, if not, the most important things when it comes to performing well as an athlete,' Fritz said. 'Even in general, if you’re not an athlete, it’s so important. Optimizing sleep, seeing all the data behind sleeping, it’s been huge for me, and I just think it makes a lot of sense as an athlete to partner with them.
guess, to take away positives, I feel like I need to do good or at least better than my seeding… There’s always, a lot of times, positives to take out. But typically, I go pretty deep into tournaments, and year-end ranking needs to be higher than it was the year prior, otherwise I’m pretty disappointed.' Now, it is U.S. Open time. It is the final slam of the year and Fritz's last chance to seriously put himself on the map.
’m here a week early, so I’m excited to get out there and put in a good training week and dial everything in. I have that confidence and am ready to go,' he said. 'I just have to take it one match at a time, not look too far ahead, and once I get myself into that quarterfinal position like I have a couple times already, it’s just gonna take that one match I play well.
