Fritz: "It's easier for the young ones to win without the Big 4"

Taylor Fritz makes his way to the next round of the Australian Open 2025 after convincingly defeating Cristian Garín. The American attended a press conference to share his thoughts on the new generation now led by Joao Fonseca and Jakub Mensik: "Their victories don't really surprise me; they are very good players. They have different styles, but both are impressive. I think it's much easier to play big events at their age than when you're a bit older. You have no expectations or pressure; you know you have all the time in the world to improve.

When I was younger, the top 5 was insane with Rafa, Federer, Novak, Andy, and Stan. It was very difficult to surprise. Perhaps now it's a bit easier for the young players to win since the seeded players are not the best of all time. Having said that, the depth in today's tennis is very significant."
