According to ATPTour.com, Fritz took the racquet on when he was two years old and since then, he has been hooked onto it. He is equally hooked onto Esports, especially FIFA.
Fritz’s marriage with Pedraza ended in December 2019. During the 2020 quarantine, he finally managed to spend some quality family time with his son.
In a conversation with Interview Magazine, the American said, “I took about a month off to just do nothing and I felt like I really needed that. I haven’t had time like that in five years. And when I say nothing, I mean that I wasn’t playing tennis or working out. Instead, I spent time being with my son, sleeping in, and playing video games.”
