American Taylor Harry Fritz Becomes 2nd 17-Year-Old to Win ATP Match this Season

French Open junior finalist Taylor Harry Fritz notched his first career ATP win on Tuesday, defeating Pablo Carreno Busta to become the second 17-year-old to win on tour this season:

Big win for Taylor Fritz in Nottingham - first at the ATP level. Joins Andrey Rublev & Alex Zverev as 17 year olds to win a match this year.

With a big serve and an aggressive game, the young American has something Sampras-esque going on with his game. He had to do double-duty on Tuesday and ended up being knocked out by Feliciano Lopez in straight sets later in the day.

Fritz’s mother, Kathy May, was a Top-10 WTA player. Though successful at a young age, he doesn’t want to let the pressure of becoming the next American star get to him. “I feel like [the pressure] has hurt a lot of people… so I try and just focus more on improving and not worry about the media and anything else.”
