Despite a less flamboyant season in Grand Slams, the American owns his ambitions. He insists: aside from Alcaraz and Sinner, few players are capable of maintaining the pace at the top.

Taylor Fritz is already stating his ambitions for 2026. Still a member of the top 5, the American nevertheless hasn't shone as brightly as last year in Grand Slams, with his best result this season being a semifinal at Wimbledon.

Grass has actually been the surface where he has accumulated the most confidence, winning the tournaments in Stuttgart and Eastbourne.

Present in the quarterfinals in Tokyo, Fritz seems to already have his eyes set on next year and states that he will aim for a first Grand Slam title:

"For me, the main goal is to win a Grand Slam. If I manage to win one, my next goal will be the world number one spot. Aside from Carlos and Jannik, there are only a handful of people you can measure yourself against. I'm working very hard to be part of that group.

Oh, Taylor. You're setting yourself up for a huge disappointment. Then what? You'll slide down the rankings for a few years, that is, if you care to even return. And you'll state it was due to an injury, like so many before you.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
