As mentioned earlier, Fritz makes sure to give his best shot in every tournament he plays. However, getting to his best not only involves on-court practice but also table work.

Over the years, numerous players have come out in public, opening up about their pre and post court sessions. Fritz was no different. Giving further details about his off court engagement, he said, “I do an hour on the physio table before every practice, before every warmup, 30 minutes in the gym.
