Early Life
Taylor Fritz was born on October 28, 1997, in San Diego, California, and now lives in Rancho Palos Verdes. He was raised in a family with a strong tennis tradition. His mother, Kathy May, was a former top-10 WTA player, and his father, Guy Fritz, played and then coached.
At a young age, Taylor started playing and showed an early sign of talent, playing junior tournaments across California and earning an early reputation for skill and concentration. As a freshman at Torrey Pines High School, he won the CIF singles tournament; he then transferred to online schooling to concentrate on tennis.
He trained at IMG Academy, where he honed his trade, the trademark serve, and aggressive game. Taylor Fritz captured the US Open boys singles title in 2015 and became the ITF Junior World Champion. He turned pro after a successful junior career, and through the guidance of an experienced mentor, he confidently joined the professional tour later that year.
Taylor Fritz Career
Taylor began playing on the ATP tour in 2016 and soon after won his first final in Memphis. He reached the third round at Wimbledon, brokering a Top 30 ranking, in 2019, where he won his first ATP title at Eastbourne. His breakthrough took place in 2022 when he won his first ATP Masters 1000 tournament at Indian Wells, where he overcame Rafael Nadal in the final.
That breakthrough propelled him into the Top 10. Fritz headed into the 2023 season by making the final of the prestigious ATP Finals and reaching the final of the US Open in 2024, finishing the year with a career-high world ranking of No. 4 in November.
He won several ATP 250 tournaments, added Eastbourne to his list once more, and won gold in doubles at the 2024 Paris Olympics with Tommy Paul. His performance as a runner-up in the US Open and ATP finals highlighted his consistency at the topmost level.
The 2025 season of Taylor has also been remarkable: a maiden semifinal at Wimbledon, complemented by a thrilling comeback and an iconic moment when his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, cried in the stands.
Taylor Fritz is now ranked as No. 5 in the world and is still a force on all surfaces; this is due to further polish under coach Michael Russell and through Paul Annacone. Taylor Fritz plays as an offensive baseliner. His groundstrokes are strong and penetrating, often forcing errors from opponents or ending points outright with winners.
His forehand is his most powerful and reliable shot, while his backhand is also solid, flatter, and lower-bouncing. Although he’s not naturally as comfortable at the net, he’s made significant improvements in both his net play and court movement since the start of his career.

Taylor Fritz attributes her emotional stability, discipline, and encouragement as being instrumental in his rise to the Top 20 to World No. 5.
