Taylor Fritz

anyone think Fritz can hang with Nishi today?

**JohnnyRudeboy** · 02-14-16, 02:46 PM

Maybe a set but that's about it. He's been broken an awful lot and managed to scrap back. Nishi's serve has been on point this week. Could easily be straight sets.

**w@lt** · 02-14-16, 02:52 PM

Yeah. Thinking about Nish 2-0 myself.

**w@lt** · 02-14-16, 02:55 PM

Actually, played u21.5 -135. Hoping for at worst 7-6, 6-2 type scoreline.

Fritz has game, but if Berankis wasn't such a nightmare, he loses that match.

Fritz will go to playing challenger level players to a top 10 player and 3-time defending champion.

Plus it will be his first ATP level final.

I think Fritz will eventually be there with Sock as the American 1 and 2. These 2 have the most talent.

I still think Fritz is a year or 2 away from top 30 though. He is already pretty impressive for his age, so it will be sooner rather than later.

That youngster reminds me of Safin, which is a good thing for Fritz. But I do not think he has much of a chance today, mainly b/c of fatigue. I think Bernake, eh Berankis, let him off the hook, Fritz was running on fumes there.

I understand why Berankis is outside of the top 100. He either plays great or is a nightmare that misses routine shots. Not much in-between with this guy.

Come on Kei. Routine set here and we're good!

**JohnnyRudeboy** · 02-14-16, 05:17 PM

The most impressive hold in this match has been by Taylor Fritz's hair

**w@lt** · 02-14-16, 05:29 PM

That'll do!

**SCI** · 02-14-16, 05:34 PM

Had Nishi -4. Fritz saved too many break points. I was impressed by the kid.

**SCI** · 02-14-16, 05:36 PM

Many next year Nishi will go play Rotterdam. I bet he's getting bored playing challenger level players.

**frugalgambler** · 02-14-16, 09:23 PM

Some good tennis by Fritz today, I think he'll be a top-10 player barring injuries or laziness. No clear weak spots in his game even right now.

**Vinnie Paz** · 02-16-16, 06:52 PM

Appears his serve not too great. Missed on 5 break point s as well.

**SCI** · 02-16-16, 07:21 PM

Letdown spot for Fritz. Looks tired out there.

**JohnnyRudeboy** · 02-16-16, 07:27 PM

legs gone

**Johnnythunder** · 02-16-16, 07:41 PM

This goofy, lanky servebot is the kid you guys are raving about...give me a break...just one look at him and i can tell he's not going anywhere.
He just got handled by a guy who looks like a rec player...over hyped.

**SCI** · 02-16-16, 07:54 PM

I guess you haven't watched him at all this year until tonight? Kid has major game. Last week was his 1st ATP event and he made the final. He's only 18.

Once he tightens up his game and especially fitness, hes in the top 50 in a hurry. Tonight he was mentally and physically tired. It happens all the time to young players.
