As personally satisfying and career-boosting as Taylor Fritz’s runner-up showing at the 2024 U.S. Open was, he is attempting to keep that out of his mind as he goes back to Flushing Meadows. Instead, he wants to remain rooted in the present.

Fritz looks poised to snap American spell at U.S. Open

A RUNNER-UP finish by Taylor Fritz, left, at last year's Open sets big expectations for the Californian.

“I’m honestly trying not to think about last year there,” Fritz said in an interview with the Associated Press.

“I want to do everything the same as I did it last time—which is not looking ahead in the draw, not thinking about the end of the tournament.”

When play begins Sunday at the final Grand Slam tournament of the season, Fritz should have every reason to expect big things from himself, just as American tennis fans are bound to expect big things from the 27-year-old Californian who has produced quite a 12-month stretch.
