He is amazing, but does not have the quickness or agility of some of the other top players
I feel like he actually overachieves if anything
U r so correct @@johnlicciardello2389
he actually has improved his movement. but not like that of the elites.
My exact thoughts when I first watched this video.
@@johnlicciardello2389 100% agreed, he rose much farther than I expected he could.
Perfect strokes and great serve. His lateral movement is a little slower than many of the elites.
His forehand lacks rackethead speed
@@konsta9600no it doesn t lol, it s a beast forehand. The guy s groundies are top class, he lacks variety and simply is not a great athelete
@VladRadu-tq1pg "not a great athlete" is an outrageous statement. Not as great of an athlete as some of the top players maybe, but that is very different.
There’s nothing “wrong” about Fritz.
Few players can play tennis like the big 3, and most players hit their ceiling before they would like to. Fritz is just one of them. In fact, he is one of those players that make the most out of his potential.
Just think about the fact that he is very likely to achieve more than Monfils, Kyrgios,or Shapovalov in his career, which would be unthinkable in the beginning of their career. He’s been the top American consistently, when players like Paul, Tiafoe, Korda, and Shelton chasing, yet it still seems like it is going to be like that for some more years.
I am not the biggest fan of Fritz but I really respect him for his achievements.
People need to understand that sitting around #10 in the world is an amazing achievement on its own.
To be absolutely honest with you, it's amazing what Taylor Fritz has achieved with his "leg condition". I mean there are not many players who can actually move that well with X shaped legs. So for me, if I was his parent, I would be extremely proud of him.
Yeah i didn't think of how prominent it's the leg shape in tennis until i saw Fritz and how uncommon actually was on ATP level
when he took tropheys that was OK with his legs
but when he doing bad it's X-legs to be the reason
He has x shaped legs????
What in the world are you talking about? He has standard legs. No one wins a Masters 1000 and beats Nadal with a "leg condition". The condition of his legs is FAST. I appreciate the Tennis Plus analysis and it's mostly spot-on. You will notice that Tennis Plus does not talk about the shape of his legs. That literally has NOTHING to do with anything. Right off the bat in his career, he got his girlfriend pregnant, married her, and then got divorced relatively quickly. I think that start hurt him and I suspect it's still hurting him in some way.
@@elmoblatch9787 you are either blind, blissfully ignorant, or just have never played tennis before to say this. His legs are fucked two ways to Sunday. His agility is dogshit, his movement is dogshit, his footwork is dogshit, can't imagine if he didn't have pro level trainers/physios etc to fix the abomination that are his legs/movement. there are plenty of tall lanky guys on the tour like sinner meddy etc that don't move like a war of the worlds tripod.
Great content! I think Fritz has definitely got some room to grow as a tennis player! He hasn't reached his ceiling, in my opinion! Mentally, he can still improve. With such a good serve, netplay should be incorporated more, variety in general, he's using the forehand dropshot more often, which is good! If he can add some slices in to the mix, get his movement just up by like 7% I think he could win way more matches!
But I have a lot of respect for Fritz! He's obviously not as naturally gifted as Federer, for example, but works very hard to be the best he can be!
I love how the video mentions Fritz won Indian Wells with an ankle issue, which was so bad he played Miami 4 days later without any problem but fails to mention that Rafa was playing that final with cracked ribs, could barely serve and was out for 3 months recovering….
Yeah... Nadal looked awful, I remember it well. Fritz didn't look like he had any issue at all. Must have been some kind of minor sprain that the pain killers dealt with.
Fritz had to put everything he had in that match just to beat a Nadal who was playing at 30%
@eincan1313 explain me how rafa defeat prime carlos alcaraz
@@romybbza8099 I assume you mean the semi-final, Why do you need it explained, did you not see the match? Rafa won for many reasons. 1. That was not prime Alcarez yet, he was the 19th seed. Have we even seen prime Alcarez? 2. It was crazy windy starting in the 2nd set. Almost unplayable conditions. Experience wins. 3. Rafa was not injured until later in the match.
think you should do a video on Bublik haha
Great video! These deep dives are really fun to watch. As a tennis player myself, they help me a lot to improve on my game by seeing how the pros are, so thanks. A couple of suggestions for other players could be Casper Ruud who looks to be getting back into form, or Alex de Minaur who is playing really well right now. Again, just suggestions. Have a great day.
May have to do one on Alex the Demon! He has been making waves this year
yeah
Terrific videos - fantastic channel - again, thank you so much 🙏
Great deep dive! More please.
Man i love your channel, i hope it gets more and more followers. Great breakdown!
More to come!
really great content! I would like to see more videos like this one :)
Great video good luck to him Fritz 👏👏👏🙏
Highly informative and with real executive presence. I'd love to learn more about Daniil Medvedev. I see him going on a winning tear !
Please can you do a video on grand slam and Olympic predictions for the rest of the year. My mums going into surgery next week and this video would mean so much to me ❤
I think Fritz performs extremely well considering his relative lack of athleticism and explosiveness that all of the other players in the top 20 have in abundance compared to him. He's made a great career with the toolset he has at his disposal.
It is actually a wonder how he can be so highly ranked with his technique and movement.
Noah, love your videos dude! Come a long way from being ball boys at the US open lol. Glad to see you're doing well. Keep it up.
Liam! Thanks so much, seems like yesterday we were making those cross court throws 💪
1:26 Jack Sock won the US open juniors in 2010
Tommy! Tommy! Tommy! Tommy! I like Fritz too
Heard you! We will get that out to you!
@@Courtside_Tennis Thanks a lot!
Love watching Tommy
Love the channel
Thank you for the beautiful video about Taylor. 😍
He is really not an all court player. He very seldom moves forward, and when he does, he lets the ball bounce instead of taking it out of the air. Great server and great base liner, but not all court.
More deep dives!!! Would love to hear about Tommy Paul and also Ugo Humbert
When these videos pop up on my feed, I click immediately. Keep it up!
Continue with these great videos !
We will!
I would like to see a video about my favourite Player Hubert Hurkacz
we adore him and know he will come back strong.
You earned a new subscriber based off this content. :)
And it’s not because I’m a Fritz fan (I am 😅). It’s because this level of depth in content is just that good. Nice work!
Welcome aboard!
Love ur videos!❤u are the best!🎉👍
Glad you like them!
He is where he should be, in the 10-15 range. He got to 5, but that was for a very very short period and he benefited from Zverev, Berrettini and Medvedev dropping back because of injuries. Great serve and groundstrokes, but his movement and ability at the net will always create a ceiling for him.
Fritz's forehand in one of my favorite shots in tennis today. It is like a whip.
Very few get to 'dominate. It's interesting to hear him talk about how he used feel about tennis - sound familiar? Wishing him the best and if gets some slams that's bonus material.
One of my favs on the tour with Jannik Sinner
Does anyone know which website Tommy uses to show these players' statistics on the graph?
I think that his pressure management is still a problem because it’s unstable if you compare it to other top players. For example if you compare his match against an injured Nadal in Indian wells 2022 and then his match against an injured Nadal in Wimbledon a few months later. But still in my opinion he is definitely fun to watch and very talented.
I appreciate your work by the way!
Would love to see a video on Alex De Minaur!
Two words: tennis parents. It never seems to help, frankly
Tommy Paul's doing well atm hope this comment ages well
Oops
@@chrisdurgin9525 Yap
Interesting !
Staging: Why do you stand in front of the cam with the light (from apparently a window) behind you?
Please make a video on Rublev next
Love your vids, keep it up😊
Glad you like them!
The competition is insane
Amazing video!
Keep going I love your chanel.
You can make a video for Grigor Dimitrov!
Fritz is having a good year mate.
I feel like he’s done pretty amazing for being in a profession that he’s obviously been pushed into. But I think he has reached a certain limit with his game where maybe he lacks the passion that other players have to get that much more out of themselves. If you don’t have an inherent love of the game at that level I think it can sometimes show. I think he’s really pushed a body type that doesn’t seem natural for the sport so operating beyond your limit makes everything that much harder.
You should do Ben Shelton!!
I think in the next 2 weeks we should have one out about him
@@Courtside_Tennis 2nd worst returner in the Top 50 in 2023 - would be interested to hear your opinion on that. Most players never manage to substantially improve on Return Points Won (RPW %) from their early 20's on.
Gotta talk about alcaraz v sinner
Anyone saying Fritz is overrated is crazy. He has the best American backhand since maybe Agassi (Korda's is good but not as good in certain situations) and probably the best American first/second serve since Roddick. He's also pretty scrappy from the baseline, decent at the net, and obviously has a great forehand. The main things holding him back are his returns (quick lateral movement) and sprint ability as some people have commented. But he's already achieved so much and keeps improving. He is currently the only good all-round American player besides Tommy Paul, but he plays more aggressively than Paul so I think he has more upside
Not the best American serve since Roddick. That would be Isner. Probably the best serve of all time
@@pettitlawncarelandscaping419 Opelka's was pretty damn good until he disappeared.
Can you do a vid on Grigor Dimitrov please?
My fav player rn but he frustrates me so much sometimes lol. So much talent but can sometimes choke or give up a lot of games for no reason
Could you please do one on Andrey Rublev?
He has a great career, not winning a slam is nothing to worry about.
I would love to see a video on Denis Shapovalov.
Video on dimitrov!!!
His phrase of the pressure of an American winning a GS frightens my hopes as a US fan. I get that they're other great US players that will have a shot too in the future such as Tiafoe, Paul, and Shelton, but why can he have the killer mindset of why cant I do it to achieve the impossible, which is something that US tennis fans have been wanting for a long time. Like he doesnt embrace the pressure to be the first US GS champion since he's the most consistent out of all the other top US players and won a Masters 1000.
i like Taylor, he has heart.
I'm a bit Taylor Fan but, he only beat Rafa because he was injured, sure, all credit to Fritz to get to the final. Had Rafa not being injured, things might have very different.
Not the ATP finals win though. Rafa is not a good indoor player, so it was expected for Fritz to win that match
I really like Taylor. What a great player! He should get Agassi as a mental coach
Please do a deep dive on Frances Tiafoe. What’s going on with him?
Can you do a video on Berretini?
the host is the nicest guy on the planet
amazing video, can you do jannik sinner?
Already did! ua-cam.com/video/UMMTKPHgtkc/v-deo.htmlsi=PjYu6u-bmt1-1zWp
I agree with others that he's probably hampered by his physique. His height obviously gives him a good advantage but once you get to the pros.. well almost everyone is tall. Think it's also an interesting discussion on American tennis players - between him, Paul, Tiafoe (and now maybe Shelton) - struggling to break through in GS and with consistency.
Taylor reminds me of Andy Roddick. An underachiever, plays inconsistent all the time, lack of a killer instinct
I think Ben Shelton is gonna be top 10 this year and win a slam next year
Roddick was an over-achieved if anything! Have you seen his backhand?
@@amugsgame9936 winning 1 slam and a few titles is over achieved. He should have performed better at the AO. AO is the fastest surface
Can you do one on ruud please
while the fritz doesn't have what it takes to dominate the sport, he _is_ going to win a slam one day . he's a US American . he's a winner .
I’d like to see a deep dive on Frances Tiafoe!
You could do one about tiafoe!
He won indian wells only cos nadal was injuried
he was injured too
Taylor still has time but needs to improve his net play, backhand, movement and overall confidence to compete with sinner, Alcaraz, medvedev, and rune types - also not sure if Fritz would have won Indian wells with a healthy Nadal
I think he needs to get a good coach, someone like Daren Cahill or Brad Gilbert who can motivate him. He needs change in his mentality.
I tend to agree with others who believe he's done very well to spend a fair time in the top 10 and win an M1000, he had a great patch of form and has since stabilised at a level which doesn't quite sustain those heights. There does seem to be something going on with his mentality with being so hard on himself, very visibly, during matches - I think it gives his opponents confidence and he doesn't quite have that air of belief that he had a few years ago. I think he'll have it back at some stage but he hasn't seem to have made any improvements on that mentality when it comes to being on the court and dealing with the ups and downs of a match. Recently he was scolding himself with his head in his hands - just because his opponent levelled the first set at 4-4. He's probably well aware that he needs to work on this but the lack of improvement is concerning.
Feel like Morgan needs to be discussed if you’re going to talk about Taylor. I think he’ll improve in the next couple years as the big 3+1 step away
Fritz has a great serve, you'd might say even a fast arm and good ball striking ability, good hands but he seems flat footed and kind of clunky in his movement and to win a Slam I don't think you can have one glaring weakness.
Andy Roddick matched up badly against Federer but he was light on his feet and had better all round athleticism that Fritz also by the age of 26 had a bunch of Slam final appearances and his sole Slam the 2003 US Open which didn't really accurately describe his tennis career, he was a consistent contender.
Winning a Grand Slam today is extremely tough!!! Not only you have to make it to week 2 but at this stage you'll face against Medvedev, Sinner, Alcaraz or Djokovic (let's see if Nadal can make it to) and that is extremely difficult. If you manage to bit one of those guys one of them is going to be waiting for you at semis or at the final!
To excel on the hyper competitive ATP tour, I think one needs to get angry at times. Taylor seems to be one of those likable and content players.
it's because he plays league of legends ranked matches after his tennis matches. i see him on league of legends at midnight to almost 3 a.m. lol
I thought the statement he was "scared to lose" was extremely evident the last half of 2023. Every time I watched him I just thought he looked very passive and almost uninterested. He seems to have really turned this around, at least from what I have seen. 2024 so far he seems to be playing some more inspired tennis, and much more "into" his matches. He just needs to find that next gear if he can.
Taylor Fritz can transfer to being a Top 5 player, only if he acquires a transition game. I've been saying this for at least three years. Fritz simply does not recognise a short ball and cannot deal with short balls adequately, or create a short ball to attack. Constantly leaving himself frustrated as a result.
It is clearly not instinctive for him to play transition tennis and finish points at the net. But there is no top five player in the world in any era of history without a transition game.
His movement is not the best but there have been other Top players without great movement or fast twitch fibres, like Lindsay Davenport. So his biggest issue is his lack of a transition game.
He really needs to work on this as a top priority if he wants to realise his potential more.
It's About Time We Talk About Cameron
for last 52 weeks he has reached semis just twice on 250 and 500 events
that's really low for the level he was before
Fast forward and he lost his first match in Miami in two straight sets. But I like Taylor for his personality and as a player so I cheer for him to be more succesfull in the rest of the year!
nice video
Thanks!
👍🏻👍🏻
I enjoy Fritz as a player and i like to watch his matches. I still think he has the potential to win one slam :)
Do one on Tiafoe
will do!
Leave tiafoe alone
@fabianjoy12875 what is wrong with doing a bio on him... relax
@@fabianjoy12875 he’s been doing very poorly and it’s pretty hard to be a fan of him as a Mende person. I just want to figure out why he is doing so bad now.
@@MergeManny idc
A video about Dimitrov please.
Still think Taylor has a lot of potential. He just needs to get his mindset right to play big games.
Taylor and Sebby (Korda) are my favorite American players. I like Ben Shelton and Fraces too.
Would love to see a deep dive on Ben Shelton.. (is it too early though ?? )
Coming soon!
Do Casper Ruud
Please make a Marozsan video.Thank You
Tsisapas is a great win at a slam
Nothing to talk -
He is doing great. He will continue to do so.
can you do sascha or de minaur?
Fritz has reached his maximum potential. He's worked hard. He's a high level player but he's not a good enough athlete to win a slam.
Nothing wrong with Fritz. He's a solid top 15 guy. And he'll probably stay there for several more years. Win a grand slam though? I'd be shocked if he does. But whatever, being a top 15 player and sometimes top 10 player is a great living. We can't complain a guy like that is having a bad career.
that choking thing
Fritz should have won that 2021 Australian Open match against Djokovic and the 2022 Wimbledon match against Nadal, I imagine things such as playing under pressure would be different for him.
I think that he does have a chance of winning the Grand Slam and Francis and Tommy Paul they’ve all got charters of winning a Grand Slam
Have you done one on Shapo yet? 😂😂😂
