MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

The conclusion to a season that had some tremendous moments for American Taylor Fritz.

He upset No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev in the semifinals, in a third-set tiebreak (this was not an area he’d had particular success in, although he’s had good success in tiebreaks against Zverev in general).

He might have taken the slow-and-steady approach to getting to the top of the game. But he’s got serious game now. And a champion’s heart.

Still, it wasn’t nearly enough to beat Jannik Sinner, who didn’t lose a set in victory – first time that’s happened since Ivan Lendl in 1986.
