Taylor Fritz’s Verdict on the Court Pace at the US Open Can Bring a Sigh of Relief for Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz
The final Grand Slam of the year is almost here, and the buzz around the US Open is building to a fever pitch. Tennis enthusiasts are on the edge of their seats as the sport’s biggest names gear up for another major showdown in Flushing Meadows. But amid all the excitement, there’s a surprising bit of news from Taylor Fritz, that’s giving players like Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz a reason to breathe a little easier.
Alcaraz and Gauff witnessed unfavorable results at the recently concluded Cincinnati Masters. The star players were ousted from their respective opening matches, which came as a major surprise for them. However, tennis experts and fans were quick to attribute this defeat to the court conditions, that was playing extremely fast at Cincinnati. While similar conditions were expected to prevail at the US Open, Fritz has worthy news to share.
Speaking to ESPN during his preparations ahead of the Grand Slam, the American star revealed that the court was not too fast to be played upon. He revealed that the court pace is slower as compared to Cincinnati, but was not extremely slow, thereby giving it a medium-paced flavor. .
