Taylor Fritz, one of the most promising players on tour, has started his year well. After some struggle in the first round, the American entered the second round with that much more confidence that resonated with his serves and winners. 

With the spot in the last 32 at stake, Fritz was up against the talented Hugo Gaston. From the get-go, the American was on top of his opponent, not allowing him to break through, and eventually Gaston fell to the 26-year-old. The American won three sets 6-0,6-3,6-1 in no time seeing him through to the next round.

Other than the on-court brilliance, Fritz is receiving loads of love from fans for starring on the Netflix show ‘Break Point’ in both seasons. During the post-match interview, he was asked to comment on Alexander Zverev’s time on the show given the current political issues. 

Fritz said to the AO Press:

I didn't watch the episode. I think as far as the whole injury at the French Open, him coming back, I do think there's a story there, regardless of what's going on off the court. Him coming back, he had a great year last year.

As cool as he is, the American gave a very clever answer not inviting any criticism. Not knowing much about Zverev’s current accusations, the World No.12 thought that the episode should feature the comeback by Zverev. Despite what is going on outside the court, Fritz reckons that there should be a story about him coming back to have a great year.

Alexander Zverev’s issues off-court have blown up in the tennis world with the date of his trial out. While many other players have shared their opinions on the issue, Taylor Fritz admitted to not knowing about the political issue.

While praising the German’s comeback to the sport, the American thinks that the fans would be very interested in the other matters and they should have touched upon it in the episode. Besides him, other players like Grigor Dimitrov, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Iga Swiatek, and more have given their views on this issue. 

The players try to evade answering about Zverev’s current situation with only blunt responses. They either divert the question or do not answer the question on purpose. Given that it is a political situation, the players haven’t given their views due to obvious reasons. With his career at stake, the German has to plead his case in front of the judge.
