Novak Djokovic has distributed 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 discovered an essential lesson: His high quality of play is powerful, however his conditioning wants some work.
“I think the level was there, I think the level was pretty even for two, two and a half hours, but unfortunately two and a half hours was two sets,” Fritz informed the media forward of the USA’s Davis Cup tie vs. Ukraine. “After that, I struggled to maintain that level, so I think it’s clear that I just need to work on a lot of conditioning, a lot of fitness so I’m able to produce that level for four to five hours and not just for two, two and a half hours.
“It’s good to know that the tennis degree will be there, as a result of the remainder is what’s simpler to enhance on.”
