Taylor Harry Fritz was destined to be a tennis player from birth. At age 2 he began playing with his mother, Kathy May a former top 10 women's player, and father, Guy a former professional as well. He started playing highly competitive tennis in high school after winning the California Interscholastic Federation Singles titles as a freshman. In 2015, Fritz took off on the junior circuit reaching at least the Quarterfinals of all four Junior Grand Slam tournaments and finishing the year as the number 1 ranked junior. That same year he began playing on the ATP Challenger circuit and was the 9th player at age 17 to reach three straight Singles finals. In 2016 he was named ATP Newcomer of the Year after reaching his first ATP Singles final in Memphis and capturing three ATP Challenger titles. His idols growing up were Juan Martin del Potro and Pete Sampras, who presented him with a cake on his 18th birthday at the 2015 Monterrey Challenger. Fritz has been remarkably consistent and made the ATP Finals for the 2022 season. Currently, the American is ranked No. 12 in the world, having won 8 ATP singles titles, including one ATP 1000 event (Indian Wells).
