ATP – Finals > Fritz came up like a cuckoo before challenging Sinner in the final: “In the final of the US Open, I just tried to stay alive. The match we played here, I didn't have it felt like that. I was much more comfortable from the baseline. I know I improved my game.”

Beaten in the group by Sinner, Taylor had a good match except for the important points.

This performance therefore somewhat erased his failure in the US Open final.

As a result, the American will approach this new duel in better conditions than the previous ones. This is what he explained at a press conference.

« In the final of the US Open, I just tried to stay alive. The match we played here, I didn't feel like that. I was much more comfortable from the baseline. I had my chances in this match. I had opportunities to break him in both sets. He had so many opportunities, and he took his. He played the big points better than me in the group stage match. I didn't feel like the match was as lopsided as at the Open. He's the best player in the world. He plays with a lot of confidence. This is something we can expect from him, that he plays the big points very well. I've improved a lot in my game. For me, at the US Open, the most important thing was that I didn't really play well. I didn't serve well. If I don't serve correctly my chances are low. That's the key to my game.”
