Novak Djokovic has disbursed many classes to opponents in successful 10 Australian Open titles.
Reflecting on his four-set loss to world No. 1 Djokovic within the AO quarterfinals final week, Taylor Fritz stated he realized an necessary lesson: His high quality of play is robust, however his conditioning wants some work.
“I feel the extent was there, I feel the extent was fairly even for 2, two and a half hours, however sadly two and a half hours was two units,” Fritz instructed the media forward of the USA’s Davis Cup tie vs. Ukraine. “After that, I struggled to take care of that stage, so I feel it’s clear that I simply have to work on a number of conditioning, a number of health so I’m capable of produce that stage for 4 to 5 hours and never only for two, two and a half hours.
“It’s good to know that the tennis stage could be there, as a result of the remainder is what’s simpler to enhance on.”
