Taylor Fritz has enjoyed a sensational second half to 2024 and his run to the ATP Finals championship match carried him through a stunning prize money milestone.

Fritz may have been beaten by the unstoppable Jannik Sinner in the final in Turin, but his run at the most lucrative ATP Tour event of the season boosted his prize money for 2024 to a stunning $6,915,586.

He also ensured that he took his career prize money total past a big milestone, as he now has $21,087,553 in his bank from on-court earnings.

Fritz’s fine second half of the season ensured he comprehensively won what was proving to be a tight race to finish the year as America;s No 1 with Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul, while also sealing a career-high fourth place finish in the end-of-year rankings.

If he continues on is current path, he will break into the top 20 of the all-time big earners in the men’s game and he admits his belief has risen dramatically over the course of this year.

“It just so happens that I’ve been improving a lot over the last couple years and I’m playing great tennis,” said Fritz.

“I’m excited about a lot of the things I think I can still improve on, that I’m working on. I feel like almost every part of my game has gotten better the last couple of years.

“Definitely feeling more confident with my forehand, my serve, my return. I’ve been moving better, playing better defense. I’ve been able to come to net and finish some points, which obviously still working on. There’s been a lot of things.

“I’m excited because I still think there’s a lot of room for me to improve.”

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.”
