Taylor Fritz, currently ranked ninth in the world, has been playing outstanding tennis this year. Having performed consistently throughout the year, bar the US Open, he recently cracked the top 10 in the ATP rankings. Although his poor showing at the US Open was a major disappointment, the American rising star has kept his down and worked hard to achieve his current ranking. Before Fritz was seen as the next best thing in American tennis, he had a funny interaction during an on-court interview.
