He will be one of the protagonists of the Six Kings Slam 2025 and he has earned it with his consistency among the best in the world. Perhaps Taylor Fritz is not the most charismatic player in the world, but he progresses every day narrowing the gap with the best and, above all, solidifying his position as a top-10 player. He talked about many topics, among which his words about Novak Djokovic stood out.

Traveling to the other side of the world, in the midst of the final stretch of the season, with accumulated physical and mental fatigue, and after complaining about the tight schedule, is something that only the money from Saudi Arabia can achieve. One and a half million dollars to participate in the Six Kings Slam 2025 is what attracts the best in the world, and Taylor Fritz tried to argue the appropriateness of a tournament like this, in a conversation with Tennis365.

"Whenever the world's best compete against each other, it's good for tennis. This tournament is very positive for our sport; it allows us to reach more audiences and serves as a litmus test for all of us. The downside is that with such a packed calendar, you often have to choose between continuing to compete in official events or taking this path occasionally. It's very fun to play here; we are treated wonderfully," he explained.

The American's dissertation on the virtues of this tournament did not stop there. "I don't think it's an exhibition because we will all compete to win. Simply, the good thing about this type of events is that it allows us to live new experiences beyond the court and get to know each other better among the players, which is very positive," stated a content Fritz about his season. "I remain among the best, trying to play my best tennis. I've had ups and downs due to injuries, but I'm happy with my effort throughout the year," he declared.

- Fritz doesn't see Djokovic's retirement coming soon and explains why

The highlight of the conversation with Taylor Fritz came when he was asked about how he perceives Novak Djokovic and if he thinks he will retire soon. The American had no doubts. "I haven't seen any signs of decline in his tennis. Reaching the semifinals of all Grand Slams is a great record; he maintains the motivation and the necessary level to compete. Honestly, it's hard for me to think that he might retire soon seeing his performance this season, because he also loves this sport," explained a player who will debut in the Six Kings Slam 2025 against Alexander Zverev.
