Despite the challenges, Fritz remains optimistic. “While he’s my nightmare opponent, I respect him immensely. It’s matches against players like Rafa that push me to become a better player. I look forward to the day when I can turn the tables,” he stated with determination.
As the tennis world watches closely, Fritz prepares for what is sure to be an exciting season ahead, hoping to rise further in the rankings and challenge the best in the game.
