Taylor Fritz suggests what he plans to do when he retires from tennis as he admits he's in a race against time

Taylor Fritz is currently in the prime of his tennis career.

At 27 years of age, he is the American number one and reached his first Grand Slam final at the US Open in 2024.

He has nine career titles to his name, including the 2022 Indian Wells crown which he won by defeating Rafael Nadal.

But a Grand Slam title continues to elude the American number one and he is concerned that he is running out of time to achieve his dream.

Taylor Fritz opens up on what he plans to do after retiring from tennis

Taylor Fritz is still very much in the middle of his career and is focused on trying to win a Grand Slam.

But ahead of the Wimbledon Championships, he discussed what he would like to do after he retires from tennis.

Fritz also made a worrying admission about how he feels physically, and expressed his interest in coaching after hanging up his racket.

“When I’m done [playing] it’s going to be tough not to be involved in tennis,” the world number five told The Guardian.

“I love talking about the strategic part of the game and there’s a very good chance I’ll coach or be in charge of a player development centre to help find new pros.”

“Will he still be chasing down slams in five years? “I’ll be almost 33. The way my body’s been feeling the last couple of years I can’t honestly say that, five years from now, it’s going to be great. I don’t know if I have that many more years of peak tennis.”

Which Grand Slams does Taylor Fritz think he has the best chance of winning?

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have been dominating the ATP’s Grand Slam scene since the start of 2024.

In fact, they have won seven of the last eight majors, and they follow in the footsteps of the stranglehold Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic had on the Slams for two decades.

Fritz is part of a large group of players seeking their first major, and he thinks his greatest chance is on the hard courts at Flushing Meadows and the hallowed turf at the All-England Club.

“[Wimbledon] might be the best chance for me to win a Slam,” Fritz added.

“I don’t know if I would say I have a better chance in the US Open [where he lost the 2024 final to Sinner]. It just comes down to which two weeks click for me.”
