Taylor Fritz is starting to make reaching big finals a habit. The American followed up his runner-up finish at the U.S. Open by beating Alexander Zverev 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (3) on Saturday to advance to the final at the ATP Finals. “I have believed that I belong, that I’m one of the best players," Fritz said.

The banners and signs — one of which declared, “Sinner for president.” Late in the second set of his victory over Taylor Fritz at the ATP Finals on Tuesday, Jannik Sinner used all the adulation in his home country to his advantage. “I read a little bit where he was playing and I just tried to pass him somehow because if not, it would have been a very easy volley for him,” Sinner said.

U.S. Open finalist Taylor Fritz fed his passion for the League of Legends video game by attending the world championships for the esports league in Paris and London, respectively. “It’s one of the things I enjoy, to like kind of grind and play when I’m not playing (tennis),” Fritz told The Associated Press in an interview at the ATP Finals. The Legends semifinals were held in Paris just before Fritz was due to play at the Paris Masters.
