Fritz went on to suggest his power-packed serve has gone to the next level this year, as he found a way to add consistency to his power.

“I felt like my serves felt good, they just weren’t going in enough,” he reflected. “There’s days where the rhythm is really off.

“Just like when I toss the ball up, I go up to serve, it’s not going to go in. It didn’t feel like that today. Honestly, the first couple games I was serving fine. Really the only two bad service games I had were the two games I got broken in the first.

“A lot of days, a lot of matches, it’s going to happen. You play a couple games where the serve, you miss some close ones, maybe you make less first serves in a game. There’s games I just try to rely on my ability to play from the baseline, play good points to get me out of those games.

“In games where it doesn’t work, all I can really say is I needed to serve better because from the ground.”

Fritz is set to play for the USA at next week’s Davis Cup Finals in Malaga and he could face matches against ATP Finals to round off his season and a big title would add a cheery to the top of his already delicious cake.
