Fritz admits not being 100% for the Indian Wells tournament
Taylor Fritz has arrived in Indian Wells, coming off a disappointing quarterfinal loss to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in Delray Beach.
Speaking at a press conference, he discussed his health and admitted not being at 100%: "I think a big part of my injury is when I'm running, stretching, hitting, trying to hit hard into the corners.
Even in Acapulco and Delray Beach, I tried to play despite my injury. I'm playing at 80% without pain.
It's the remaining 20% that prevents me from playing at 100%. That's why I decided to withdraw from Acapulco, because I probably could have forced myself to play.
But I would say that last night was good, but I kind of expected it."
Taylor Fritz, benefiting from a first-round bye, will face the winner of the match between Matteo Gigante and Sebastian Baez in the second round.
