Yesterday, all eyes were on the Indian Wells 2022 final between Rafael Nadal and Taylor Fritz. Before the match, the American tennis player gave everyone an injury scare, as he stopped his practice session due to an apparent ankle injury. However, he overcame that scare and won his first-ever Masters 1000 tournament after beating the 21-time Grand Slam champion in the final. It seems as though his win also attracted the attention of a famous personality from the music world.

Kygo reacts after Taylor Fritz wins against Rafael Nadal

Norwegian DJ Kygo is a well-recognized face in the music world. He has many famous songs, like ‘I See Fire’, ‘Firestone’, etc. Yesterday, Kygo posted a story on his Instagram cheering for the 24-year-old American as he beat Rafael Nadal in straight sets. 

The DJ posted a video on his story with a couple of crown emojis. It seems like Kygo is a big fan of Taylor. 

Previously, they collaborated on a music video named ‘Raging’. Also, the American posted a few photos on his social media in 2017, as he was hanging out with the DJ.

With this win, the American finally broke the Spaniard’s unbeaten streak in 2022. As of now, Rafa has 20 wins and 1 loss this year, which is still pretty remarkable. Meanwhile, Fritz won his first-ever Masters 1000 tournament. Incidentally, this was his second trophy in his career. After winning his first trophy in Eastbourne in 2019, he won his second at the Indian Wells. 

Taylor has been knocking on the trophy door for a while now and at the Indian Wells he finally broke through. Earlier at the Australian Open, he reached the 4th round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. In so many ways, 2022 has been a breakthrough year for the American tennis star.
