What’s to Come in 2025?
If 2024 was all about establishing himself among the best players in the world, next season will be all about maintaining his spot at the top. After finishing runner-up at the Nitto ATP Finals to Sinner, who also defeated him at the US Open, world No. 4 Fritz has said his work is already cut out for him.
“Going into my off-season, starting next year, I feel like I have a good idea of what things I need to improve on,” he said in Turin, “but I also feel like I’m playing very good tennis. I feel like I’ve gone up a level and I’m much more confident in my game.”
Fritz diagnosed his return of serve as the number one priority, and the stats agree: The American currently sits at No. 45 on the ATP Tour’s Return Leaders leaderboard. Fritz says he plans to train his footwork and movement on court for a “more explosive, quicker first step,” and has also identified his backhand as a shot to polish.
