"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."
