Fritz: "It was a bad decision to play in Delray Beach and then go to Acapulco"

Taylor Fritz has not been able to have the start to the season that he would have wished for.

Eliminated in the third round of the Australian Open, in the round of 16 in Dallas, in the quarter-finals in Delray Beach, and then withdrawing from Acapulco, the American also has to deal with an abdominal injury.

However, he feels satisfied with his start at Indian Wells, where he defeated Matteo Gigante with a score of 6-3, 7-5.

According to him, his injury has subsided: "In hindsight, it was a bad decision to play in Delray Beach and then go to Acapulco.

I hadn't touched a racket for two weeks, so I couldn't expect much today.

The best news is that I played without thinking once about my oblique injury, which is a good sign because it was bothering me a lot during my last matches.

There are still things I want to improve, but overall, it's a pretty solid performance."

He will face Alejandro Tabilo this Monday in the third round of Indian Wells.
