Many pro tennis players extend their support and guidance to budding tennis players. In one such incident, Indian Wells champion, Taylor Fritz has shown a great gesture. He confronted the struggling tennis mother with an encouraging response.

The mother finds it difficult to encourage her kid during some low moments in a tennis match. She took it to Twitter and asked for some pro players to offer a piece of advice to her son.

Mother wrote, “The hardest sight for a tennis mum. My son gets so down on himself during matches. Do you have a second to give him some encouragement?” Tennis players and experienced writers were directly tagged in the tweet.

The mother in need was unhappy to see her child giving up. She asked pro tennis stars like Taylor Fritz, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal to help her out. Fritz was the first one to reply as he gave some wise advice to the kid.

It is certainly the right advice to any aspiring tennis player, as losing may affect a player’s confidence and champions do come out strong from that defeat. Taylor Fritz emphasized that hard work and practice will improve the game.

He also mentioned that it is important to enjoy the sport and consider winning and losing as secondary aspects at such a tender age. He encouraged the young boy to keep working hard and urged him to keep improving.
